‘The decision may risk disrupting long-standing trade partnerships’

The new tariff regime appears to be rooted in a protectionist push by the U.S. to reduce trade imbalances and reinforce domestic manufacturing,” said, Abhishek Goyal, ED and CEO, Aeroprime Group. He added, “India’s growing footprint in key export sectors has likely drawn increased scrutiny. While such measures may be politically motivated and serve as a tactic to exert pressure for expediting trade negotiations, they risk disrupting long-standing trade partnerships, economic relationships and global supply chains. At Aeroprime, we believe that trade diplomacy and bilateral engagement should take precedence over sudden tariff escalations.”
