Ross | R000305 | ross.house.gov | ross | https://ross.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | Today, Congresswoman Deborah Ross (NC-02) and Congressman Ro Khanna (CA-17) led a group of 19 Members of Congress in urging President Trump to take immediate steps to repair America’s strained relationship with India and to reverse his administration’s harmful tariff policies. In the letter, the Members warn that the President’s recent tariff hikes, which raised duties on Indian goods to as high as 50 percent, have undermined relations with India and hurt both American consumers and manufacturers. "We write as Members of Congress representing districts with large, vibrant Indian-American communities that maintain strong familial, cultural, and economic ties to India. Recent actions by your administration have strained relations with the world’s largest democracy, creating negative consequences for both countries,” wrote the lawmakers. “We urge you to take immediate steps to reset and repair this critical partnership.” The Members emphasize that the U.S.-India trading relationship supports hundreds of thousands of jobs in both countries. They warn that escalating tariffs threaten to drive up costs and weaken American competitiveness by pushing India to build closer ties with China and Russia. They continued, “The United States and India share democratic traditions that set us apart from our authoritarian competitors. Our partnership demonstrates to the world that free and open societies can prosper through cooperation and mutual respect.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:32:54Z |
