AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi slammed US President Donald Trump as the “buffoon-in-chief” over the 25% tariff on Indian goods, calling it an attack on India’s sovereignty. He criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s silence, asking if India was a “vassal state.” Owaisi warned the tariffs would hit Indian MSMEs, IT firms, service providers, and farmers, damaging exports and jobs. Trump’s tariff, effective August 1, cites India’s trade ties with Russia and high barriers. While other Asian nations face lower tariffs, Owaisi questioned the Centre’s lack of resistance, saying India is being bullied economically by the US under vague pretexts. (PC: News18)
