US Senators Urge Trump to Address India's Pulse Tariff Amid Trade Talks

Two Republican US senators, Steve Daines and Kevin Cramer, have urged President Donald Trump to press India to remove a 30% import tariff on American pulses, including yellow peas. This tariff, imposed by India in response to US tariffs on Indian goods, is seen by the senators as creating a competitive disadvantage for US pulse producers. The dispute adds complexity to ongoing India-US trade deal negotiations, with senators emphasizing the potential for US farmers to expand exports if trade barriers are eased.
