India Faces Potential US Tariffs Amidst Global Trade Deals
The US is making trade deals with other countries, and India is worried it might get hit with higher taxes (tariffs) on its products.
The US is asking these other countries to change some of their rules in exchange for lower taxes, but even then, the US is still putting some taxes on their goods.
India is being asked to do similar things but is hesitant.
