Kya hua
US ne Canada pe $27.6 billion ke goods pe 50% tariff lagaya; Canada ne counter-tariffs se jawab diya.
Canada aur America trade mein purane dost hain — 1965 se autos ka free trade, 1989 mein free trade agreement, phir NAFTA aur 2020 mein USMCA. Lekin ab yeh dosti tariff war mein badal gayi hai. July 20, 2026 ko US ne $27.6 billion ke Canadian goods pe 50% tariff lagaya — alcohol, dairy aur motor vehicles pe. Canada ne Aug 21 ko baat-cheet se hi withdraw kar gaya; PM Mark Carney ne US ki last-minute
The Hindu ke editorial ke hisaab se iska India ke liye seedha lesson hai.

America ke saath signed deal guarantee nahi hai — Canada jaise close ally ka bhi tariff fayda gayab ho gaya, isliye India ko pehle binding aur durable concessions lock karna chahiye, phir kuch dena chahiye.

India favourable US treatment ko guaranteed nahi maan sakta; pehle binding concessions lock karo, phir agriculture ya digital regulation pe compromise karo.

India ka Feb 2026 ka 18% tariff advantage khatam ho sakta hai agar US ki forced-labour aur excess-capacity investigations tariff aur badha dein.

Signed deal guarantee nahi — pehle binding concessions lock karo, phir kuch do.

Despite the February 2026 agreement setting 18% tariffs on imports from India, the US has pressed ahead with forced-labour and excess-capacity investigations that could push effective tariffs beyond that limit.
GTRI's Ajay Srivastava advises India to seek clear, binding, durable tariff concessions before conceding on agriculture, digital regulation, critical minerals or government procurement.
The US Supreme Court in February 2026 held IEEPA does not authorize presidential tariffs, after which the administration used Section 122 surcharges, Section 301 investigations, and Section 338 actions.
