As per Pavan Choudary, Chairman Medical Technology Association of India, MTaI, the tariff is troubling and seems economically shortsighted and strategically misguided.
“ As a sovereign nation, India makes independent choices in defence and energy based on national interest and long-term strategic priorities. Attempting to punish these decisions through coercive trade measures is not only inappropriate but also counterproductive. Framing a key democratic partner in adversarial terms sends the wrong signal and could jeopardize a relationship built on shared strategic interests and trust. Stacking India alongside Russia and China, as Trump has done, is an attempt to cast shadows on it before
European eyes. Such mischaracterization may be coming from a deeper frustration- born of repeated failure to isolate India, despite his numerous public statements aimed at doing so.”
