Trump’s Tariff

On this Special Report, Senior Editor Pranay Upadhyay discusses the escalating tensions between the European Union and the United States over President Donald Trump's bid to take over Greenland. The European Union is reportedly scrambling to avert the 'Greenland tariff' and has called an emergency meeting for January 22nd. Pranay Upadhyay notes that 'The European Union is mulling suspension of the US trade deal and it may also reactivate 93 billion euro tariff package as well.' The transcript highlights how the Greenland issue has created significant fissures in the long-standing US-EU partnership and the NATO alliance. President Trump has already imposed a 10% tariff on EU nations, warning it could rise to 25% by June 1st if the takeover is not approved. While Greenland is currently administered by Denmark, Trump argues the US must control the territory for the security of the Western Hemisphere, mentioning options ranging from purchase to military means.

On this Special Report, the focus is on the escalating trade tensions between the United States and the European Union. European Council President Antonio Costa has called for an emergency meeting in response to US President Donald Trump's threat to impose a 10% tariff on EU nations starting February 1st, 2026, unless they support a US takeover of Greenland. Costa stated that the European Union is 'very firm in defending international law' and is currently coordinating a joint response among member states. The bulletin also highlights the potential impact on India, as EU officials are set to attend Republic Day celebrations in New Delhi. Reporter Karishma suggests this friction could accelerate the India-EU trade deal, providing a 'silver lining' for Indian markets in sectors like pharmaceuticals and renewables. Meanwhile, US officials argue Greenland is vital for polar security, while European leaders like Emmanuel Macron and Clare Somers back Denmark's sovereignty.

In this Special Report, India Today’s Washington Correspondent Rohit Sharma analyses the new US bill authorising up to 500% tariffs on India if it continues buying Russian oil. Sharma explains that Senator Lindsey Graham has been pushing for this legislation since May 2025 and has now received a 'green-light' from President Donald Trump. The bill, which gives the US President sweeping powers to target Indian exports, is expected to be tabled in the US Senate next week. Sharma notes that despite a drop in Indian imports of Russian crude, the US administration is using tariff threats to force a complete halt to funding Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine.

A trade dispute has escalated between the United States and Canada after former President Donald Trump announced an additional 10% tariff on Canadian goods. The move came in response to an ad sponsored by the Ontario government featuring former U.S. President Ronald Reagan, which Trump denounced as fraudulent. In a social media post, Trump stated, 'Canada was caught, red handed, putting up a fraudulent advertisement on Ronald Reagan's Speech on Tariffs'. The ad, which used excerpts from a 1987 Reagan speech to argue against protectionism, was described as a "misrepresentation" by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute, which considered legal options. This tariff marks a significant escalation in trade tensions, with Trump having previously terminated trade negotiations over the same ad.

Following threats of tariffs as high as 100%, top officials from both nations have now agreed to restart trade negotiations to de-escalate the conflict that carries significant risks for the global economy. The developments are being closely watched in India, as New Delhi is also engaged in its own bilateral trade negotiations with Washington.

The discussion navigates the complexities of the talks, including the impact of US tariffs on Indian exports, former President Trump's unpredictable negotiation style, and the rejection of his claims about PM Modi agreeing to stop Russian oil purchases. The report explores the path to a potential deal, the broader geopolitical implications, and the future of the multifaceted relationship between the two democracies.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi responded to the trade situation by promising to protect local interests and stating his government would not let farmers, small entrepreneurs, or animal breeders be harmed. He also promoted a 'swadeshi' philosophy of encouraging products made in India. US President Donald Trump, while noting his friendly relationship with PM Modi, expressed disappointment over India buying Russian oil but affirmed the special relationship means there is "nothing to worry about."
