US President Donald Trump finally imposed reciprocal tariffs on all countries of the world on April 2 (US time). Trump has imposed a 26 percent tariff on India, while a 34 percent tariff has been imposed on his biggest competitor China. Donald Trump announced the plan for reciprocal tariffs during a speech at the White House. Tariffs have been imposed on a group of countries at a rate almost half that of the tariffs levied on the United States.

Market declines after tariffs are imposed

President Donald Trump declared a national economic emergency. US stock markets as well as Asian markets fell sharply early on Thursday morning after Trump’s decision to impose tariffs. Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 index fell at least 4% shortly after opening on Thursday after Trump announced sweeping global tariffs. Trump has announced a 24% reciprocal tax on Japan. Imposing reciprocal tariffs could accelerate the growing trade war and its impact can also be seen on the global economy.

Domestic players will be affected in India!

According to PTI news, India’s top exporting organization FIEO said on Thursday that the 26 percent tariff or import duty imposed on India by US President Donald Trump will undoubtedly affect domestic players. However, Ajay Sahai, Director General and CEO of FIEO (Federation of Indian Export Organizations), also said that India is in a better position than many other countries. He expressed hope that the proposed bilateral trade agreement, which is currently being negotiated between the two countries, will be concluded soon, as it will provide relief from these mutual tariffs.
