flag U.S. lawmakers warn Trump’s tariffs and visa fees risk damaging vital U.S.-India ties and Quad cooperation.

flag U.S. Democratic lawmakers, led by Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, warned during a December 2025 congressional hearing that President Donald Trump’s imposition of a 50% tariff on Indian goods, a $100,000 fee on H-1B visas, and tariffs on Indian-linked Russian oil risks damaging the strategic U.S.-India relationship. flag They argued these policies, driven by personal grievances rather than national interest, undermine decades of bipartisan progress in defense, technology, and supply chain cooperation, strain the Quad alliance, and could push India toward Russia at a critical time of rising Chinese influence. flag The measures have stalled high-level talks and delayed the Quad Leaders Summit, raising concerns about long-term harm to U.S. strategic interests in the Indo-Pacific.
