Press Statement

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:

 

Resist US Bullying Tactics

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) strongly condemns
the United States for imposing a 50 per cent tariff on Indian exports. This
unilateral move is arbitrary, dictatorial and reflects the bullying tactics
of the US administration.

US President Donald Trump announced that a 25 per cent tariff would be
imposed on Indian exports for not accepting all the demands made by the US
during ongoing trade negotiations. On top of this, an additional 25 per cent
was imposed as a penalty for India's purchase of Russian oil. The US and the
EU are attempting to arm-twist countries like India for continuing trade
relations with Russia, even as they themselves continue to trade with
Russia.

The CPI(M) urges the Indian government to stand firm and resist succumbing
to US pressure. The government must take immediate steps to protect the
interests of Indian exporters who will be adversely affected by these tariff
hikes.

The CPI(M) calls upon all its units to immediately organise protests against
US bullying and in defence of our country's economic sovereignty.
