What happened

Well supportedReported by 17 independent outlets

Donald Trump imposed tariffs on India, which was accompanied by threats of punitive tariffs on Indian exports. Separately, the US accused 40 countries, including India, of participating in a 'Great Transhipment Scam' to help China evade US tariffs. On July 24, 2026, the US added a 12.5% tariff on China citing forced-labor compliance gaps.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The US has consistently used tariffs to address trade deficits, particularly with China. The tariffs on India are part of a larger trend where companies are diversifying supply chains away from China, although some buyers are restoring Chinese suppliers due to China's manufacturing advantages.

Donald Trump's tariffs are negatively affecting sales for garment makers in India, and HSBC has pegged India's Balance of Payments deficit higher due to damage to Indian exports from global tariffs.
