TMC Slams Centre Over US Tariff, Calls Foreign Policy a 'PR Stunt'

The TMC on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the BJP-led central government over the decision of the United States to impose a 25 percent tariff, alleging that the country is now paying the price for a foreign policy built on "photo-ops" and PR exercises instead of meaningful diplomacy.

"Let's connect the dots: India has been hit with 25 percent tariffs and penalties by the US, worse than what China, Japan, or Vietnam face. The rupee is at a record low," the party posted on X.

"This is the price of reducing foreign policy to PR stunts and vanity photo-ops. Global image: curated. Diplomatic negotiations: ignored. India: left to bear the brunt," it further wrote in a follow-up post, directly blaming the Centre's diplomatic approach for the unfolding economic pressure.
