The social media statement by PIB clarified that no such statement was issued and labeled the claims as misinformation. \u201cThe External Affairs Ministry has not made any such statement. Stay alert and do not fall for misleading information. above is from Govt of India,” the PIB social media post on X said. <\/p>\n

This rebuttal comes amid escalating tensions over US tariff actions. The MEA earlier in the week reiterated that India remains in active negotiations with Washington over a trade deal and assured the public that diplomatic ties and economic engagements are intact and ongoing, unaffected by such rumours. <\/p>\n

On July\u202f30,\u202f2025, US President Trump announced a 25% tariff on Indian imports, effective August\u202f1, citing high Indian tariffs, restrictive trade barriers and India\u2019s continued energy and defense ties with Russia. <\/p>\n

This move sent immediate ripples through export and import sectors of both countries \u2014 particularly in the textiles, apparel, gems, jewellery and electronics sector \u2013 where exporters and importers fear the new duties could lead to widespread disruptions.<\/p>\n
