Harsh Goenka Responds To Trump's 50% Tariff Imposition
US President Donald Trump imposed additional 25 per cent tariffs on India for buying Russian oil and arms. Reacting to this, Chairman of RPG Enterprises, Harsh Goenka, said “"You can tariff our exports, but not our sovereignty." With the additional tariffs, exporting Indian goods to the US will draw at least 50 per cent tariffs, among the highest imposed by the US on any country in the world.
“You can tariff our exports, but not our sovereignty. Raise your tariffs- we’ll raise our resolve, find better alternatives, and build self-reliance. India bows to none," Goenka wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

Goenka, known for his sharp and witty responses, hit back at Trump last month too, after US signed a trade deal with Pakistan. With this deal, both countries agreed to develop oil reserves in Islamabad.
President Trump announced the deal and said, “We are in the process of choosing the Oil Company that will lead this Partnership. Who knows, maybe they’ll be selling Oil to India some day!"
Trump, on Wednesday, signed an executive order of imposing an additional 25% tariff on India penalize the country for purchasing oil from Russia.
Harsh Goenka responded to this deal with a Bollywood film Lagaan’s reference. “Saying Pakistan will sell oil to India is like saying a tailender will hit a triple century in a T20 match. Technically possible. Realistically? More likely to happen in Lagaan than in real life," he wrote
25 per cent tariff imposed by US on India last week, came into affect from Thursday, while the additional 25 per cent tariff will come into effect after 21 days or August 27.
