Tariffs on India: America's New Favorite Budget Drama
In a twist even soap operas would envy, President Trump dropped that India might get slapped with a 20% to 25% tariff—"though a deal isn't finalized." The U.S. really out here acting like "it's complicated" is a valid relationship status with global trade. While India's exports include pharmaceuticals and bling-worthy gold, U.S. exports to India face "among the highest" tariffs at 17%. Fun fact: The $45.7 billion trade deficit with India has nearly doubled since Trump first ghosted office. Stay tuned—this international Netflix saga is far from over!

Not India patiently waiting for a trade deal while the U.S. hits them with a 25% "just kidding" tariff This has the same energy as texting "on my way" then ghosting for 3 hours. This is sending me.
If global trade was a HIMYM episode, this tariff saga with India is Barney's 'challenge accepted' but with actual challenging and zero acceptance.
Honestly, America throwing a 25% tariff on India is like insisting your friendship is "complicated" but then stealing their Netflix account anyway.
