"Clueless Foreign Policy or One-Sided Surrender?": Kharge questions Centre on US trade deal after court quashes Trump tariffs
Feb 21, 2026
In a post on X, Kharge asked why the Centre did not wait for the US court's verdict before rushing into an interim trade deal, which he called a "trap deal." He criticised the deal's Joint Statement for including zero tariffs on several American exports, effectively opening India's agriculture to US goods, a plan to import USD 500 billion worth of US products, a halt on purchasing Russian oil that could hurt India's energy security, and multiple digital tax concessions.
