US Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove has sharply criticized former President Donald Trump’s decision to impose high tariffs on India, saying it damaged a vital partnership between the two countries. Her remarks came during a congressional session where she urged current policymakers to “make a deal and fix the damage.”
Kamlager-Dove referred to the 50% tariffs imposed by Trump on Indian goods, describing the move as driven by his “fragile ego.” She argued that such actions undermined the strategic and economic partnership between Washington and New Delhi. “Partnership with India is too important to be sacrificed for Trump’s ego,” she said.
The congresswoman contrasted Trump’s policies with President Joe Biden’s efforts to strengthen US-India ties. She noted that under Biden’s leadership, the relationship has reached “new heights” in areas such as trade, defense, and technology cooperation. According to her, the Biden administration recognized India’s role as a key ally in the Indo-Pacific and a major partner in global supply chains.
Kamlager-Dove urged current US policymakers to prioritize repairing the economic damage caused by Trump-era tariffs. “Now, make a deal and fix the damage,” she said, emphasizing the importance of restoring trust and stability in bilateral trade.
She stressed that both economies benefit from open trade, pointing to India’s role as one of America’s fastest-growing export markets. For the United States, a strong partnership with India is seen as critical not only for economic growth but also for geopolitical stability in Asia.
Her comments reflect a broader view within US Congress that India remains a central partner for Washington’s long-term strategy. While tariffs created friction in recent years, many lawmakers are calling for a renewed focus on cooperation.
The remarks by Congresswoman Kamlager-Dove underline bipartisan recognition of India’s importance to US interests. As trade talks and defense partnerships continue, her call to “fix the damage” highlights a pressing need to ensure that political disputes do not undermine one of the world’s most significant strategic relationships.
