Congressman Jonathan Jackson on Friday (September 5, 2025) denounced President Donald Trump’s tariffs on India, describing them as a “trade embargo by another name” and warning that the measures risk undermining long-term U.S. interests in Asia.
“President Trump’s reckless 50% tariffs on India are tantamount to a sanction by another name,” Mr. Jackson said in a statement. “Instead of strengthening America, these actions have weakened trust, disrupted trade, and pushed India closer to China and Russia. That is a dangerous path and one that hurts our long-term national interests.”
