Congress says, India paying price for PM Modi's friendship with Trump after US President slaps 25% tariffs

Congress on Wednesday slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government at the Centre after US President Donald Trump announced a 25 per cent tariff on India. In an 'X' (formerly known as Twitter) post, the grand old party launched a blistering attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, claiming that he even campaigned for Trump and hugged him "enthusiastically", but the US



President has slapped tariffs on India.

"Trump has imposed a 25% tariff on India, along with a penalty. The country is paying the price for Narendra Modi's 'friendship.' Modi campaigned for Trump, Hugged him enthusiastically, and even clicked photos with him. In the end, Trump slapped tariffs on India. India's foreign policy has completely failed," the Congress posted on 'X' in Hindi.
