US New Taxes from the U.S.

The government of the U.S. put new taxes on goods from other countries like India and China, so taxes are high, between 10% and 50%. Because of this, investors are worried that there may be a trade war. So this can affect businesses and jobs.

China put high taxes on U.S. goods in return, so this shows that both countries are now fighting over trade. So if world trade slows down, it can be bad for Indian companies that sell products to other countries.
