‘Fueling the war machine': Trump threatens hike in tariffs on India in next 24 hours
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday warned that he would 'very substantially' raise tariffs on imports from India within the next 24 hours, citing New Delhi's continued purchase of Russian oil, a day after he announced on Truth Social that he would be hiking duties on India. 'They're fueling the war machine, and if they're going to do that, then I'm not going to be happy,' Trump told CNBC in an interview. He added that India's high tariff rates on American goods remained a key sticking point in bilateral trade relations. However, Trump did not specify the new tariff rate he intends to impose on Indian imports. On July 31, ahead of the August 1 deadline, Trump said he would slap at 25 per cent tariff plus an unspecified 'penalty' on India for trading with Russia.

US tariff war poses threat to Kerala's key exports, says Finance Minister K N Balagopal
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The US trade war against countries across the globe poses a serious threat to world trade and the global economy, and its consequences could be especially damaging for Kerala's export-driven sectors, K N Balagopal, the state finance minister, said here on Tuesday. Products like marine goods, spices and tea — major export items from Kerala — would be hit hard if the US goes ahead with a proposed 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods, he warned. He was inaugurating a seminar on Post-Covid Development Challenges and Response: Through the Lens of Kerala Budgets, organised by the Gulati Institute of Finance and Taxation (GIFT). Balagopal said developed countries such as the US and Australia have been mounting pressure on the Union government to open up the Indian market for agricultural and dairy imports. Reports indicate that Australia can sell milk in India at Rs 30 per litre. If cheaper milk is allowed into the Kerala market, local dairy farmers will be in serious trouble, he said. The minister also criticised the campaign that Kerala is in a debt trap, with claims that the state's total debt has risen to Rs 6 trillion. 'This is absolutely baseless. A section of so-called experts is spreading false information about Kerala's debt position through social media,' he said. The state's total debt by the end of FY 2025-26 would be around Rs 4.7 lakh crore. Based on a trend seen over the past three decades, Kerala's debt has doubled every five years. Had that pattern continued, it would have already crossed Rs 6 trillion, he said.
