Trade Unions Plan Protest on August 13 Against US Tariffs, India-UK Deal
Trade unions and farmers are organizing a protest on August 13, 2025, to object to potential extra taxes imposed by the US and a trade agreement between India and the UK.
The protesters are accusing the US of economic coercion through tariffs and want India to have the freedom to trade with any nation, including Russia.
They also criticize the trade deal with the UK, believing it harms farmers and the economy, claiming the government is yielding to foreign businesses and advocating for public scrutiny of all trade agreements.
CTUs-SKM plans nationwide protest on August 13, 2025, against US tariffs and India-UK CETA.
The protest denounces 25% US tariffs and potential punitive taxes on oil trade with Russia.
CTUs-SKM demands India reject US tariff threats and safeguard trade sovereignty with all countries.
The India-UK CETA deal requires immediate review and modification, as per the group.
The group alleges that US trade policies exploit India and the Indian government is acquiescing to western interests.
