In a sharp bipartisan message, US lawmakers have warned that President Donald Trump’s tariffs and immigration restrictions are damaging Washington’s strategic partnership with India. During a House hearing on South and Central Asia, Democrats slammed the 50% tariff on Indian goods and highlighted a recent photo of PM Modi with President Putin as evidence of strained ties. They also criticised the $100,000 H-1B visa fee, saying it hurts America’s own technological and scientific sectors. Republicans, meanwhile, stressed India’s central role in countering China and securing the Indo-Pacific. Members urged a reset in India–US ties, warning that tariffs and visa restrictions are weakening cooperation at a time of global realignment.
