There has been a stir in the whole world since the announcement of the imposition of reciprocal tariff by US President Donald Trump. Many countries have opposed it but Trump is not ready to back down from his decision.Meanwhile, relations between India and Canada, which have deteriorated over the issue of Khalistan, may improve over this issue. Both countries are taking steps towards improving their relations.
In fact, this tariff, which will come into effect from April 2, 2025, can cause economic shocks to both India and Canada. Due to this, both the countries have decided to increase trade cooperation so that the loss caused by American trade dependence can be compensated.
In 2023, India-Canada relations soured when former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused India of killing Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. After this, both the countries expelled each other’s diplomats. Now, with new Prime Minister Mark Carney coming to power, Canada is trying to improve relations with India.
Trump’s new tariffs can cause economic damage to both India and Canada. According to a Bloomberg report, India and Canada are working out a strategy to reduce the impact of US tariffs by forgetting their differences. According to Canadian officials, better trade relations with India are a priority for Canada.
