πTrade war between US and China
The fresh trade war between the United States and China is raising global concerns as experts warn that US policies could lead to dumping of Chinese goods in other markets, including India.
The US administration on Tuesday announced a series of proposed tariff increases on imports from China including on electric vehicles (EVs), medical products, lithium ion batteries, semiconductors, solar cells, aluminum, and steel.
βBoth the USA and the EU are cutting imports of electric vehicles from China. The raising of tariffs on EVs, batteries and many other new technology items by the US may push China to dump these products in other markets including India,β GTRI said.
