India has imposed a 30% retaliatory #tariff on U.S. pulse imports, reflecting a broader shift in its trade posture that prioritizes agriculture, food security, & farmer incomes. #Pulses, a critical protein staple & key domestic policy focus, are highly sensitive to import-driven price fluctuations.
#Canada & #China are lowering mutual tariffs, and #EU and #Mercosur (#Brazil, #Argentina, #Uruguay & #Paraguay) are #eliminating 90% tariffs on #bilateral trade.
#Trump threatens 10% tariff on 8 EU countries for opposing US over #Greenland. India imposes 30% tariff on US #pulses & #lentils.
