How India misread Trump: From heavy tariffs to H1B visas | LME 93 | Pooja Prasanna

2019’s “Howdy, Modi” promised a new chapter in India-U.S. friendship. But in 2025, the bond looks shaky. Trump’s 50% tariffs on Indian goods and a $100,000 H-1B visa fee are biting hard.In this week’s Let Me Explain, Pooja Prasanna dives into why India’s over-reliance on Trump’s personal rapport backfired, how high tariffs are affecting Indian exports, and why Indian IT companies and workers face a double whammy with new outsourcing taxes on the horizon. This is not just about diplomacy, it’s about jobs, livelihoods, and the global future of India’s workforce.For suggestions and feedbacks, write to [email protected] to our reporting fund on India’s hidden digital exploitation: https://pages.razorpay.com/hiddenLike Pooja’s LME?
