  "account": "India's exporters are expressing significant concern over the new US law, which permits President Donald Trump to impose tariffs of up to 100 per cent on Indian goods. This has raised uncertainty about the existing trade relations between the two nations. Such duties, if implemented, could severely disrupt India's exports to America. However, the potential impact on Indian exports can only be determined after the US announces the tariffs, product coverage, and implementation schedule. The Russia-Ukraine war and the West Asia crisis have already led to a surge in raw material prices and transportation costs, further complicating the situation. Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) President SC Ralhan expressed worry that if the US imposes high tariffs, it could halt India's exports to the US entirely. Many engineering sector exporters have substantial businesses in America, and the US should take this into account before deciding on new duties. The likely effect on Indian exports can only be assessed once the US reveals the tariff rate, product scope, and implementation timetable.",
  "summary": "A new United States law could impose steep tariffs on Indian goods. This legislation creates significant uncertainty for bilateral trade relations. Indian exporters express deep concern over potential disruptions to their shipments. The full impact depends on specific tariff rates and product coverage. This move may pressure India regarding its Russian energy purchases.",
