India Holds Informal US Talks, Rules Out Retaliation for Now

The Indian government is maintaining informal communication channels with the United States amid the ongoing tariff dispute. According to an official source, India currently has no immediate plans to retaliate against the 50% tariffs imposed by the Trump administration on the South Asian country. The two nations are working to keep their dialogue open and find a resolution to the trade tensions. India is adopting a cautious approach, seeking to avoid escalating the situation through retaliatory measures for now. The focus appears to be on maintaining constructive engagement and exploring ways to address the trade imbalance between the two economies. Both sides are committed to finding a mutually acceptable solution through diplomatic channels, rather than escalating the conflict through tit-for-tat actions.
