Trump’s Tariffs a “Tribute” to India’s Strategic Autonomy, Claims Congress MP

Congress MP Manish Tewari has taken a unique stance on the impact of former US President Donald Trump’s tariffs, asserting that they’ve inadvertently strengthened India’s position on the world stage.

Tewari Breaks From Party Line, Praises Tariff Impact

In a surprising departure from the typical Congress party line, Tewari argued that the tariffs served as a testament to India’s “strategic exceptionalism.” He believes that rather than hindering India, the trade measures have underscored the nation’s ability to navigate global challenges independently.

Tariffs Highlight India’s Resilience and Independence

Tewari’s comments suggest that India’s strategic autonomy remains unaffected, and perhaps even reinforced, by international trade pressures. He sees the situation as an example of India’s increasing resilience and capacity to chart its own course in international affairs.
