New Delhi [India], April 12 (ANI): Amidst the Tariff war, travel solutions provider EaseMyTrip has encouraged Indian entrepreneurs to act big and push Indian goods to the United States as Chinese products face 125 percent tariffs. As part of that, EaseMyTrip is offering 25% discount on Hotels and flights for entrepreneurs wishing to travel to the US.

'Trump cancels tariffs for most nations, except China, which will be at 104% Sharing the TOP 104 products that China used to export to the US, in comment section.

Prashant Pitti listed 104 items, from Smartphones to Agricultural machinery, that China was exporting to the US and would now come under the new tariff regime.
Earlier on Friday, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said that India is prepared for a high degree of urgency in reaching a trade deal with the United States. He said the country has fundamentally changed its approach to engaging with the world, and this has consequences across every domain.
Speaking at the Carnegie Global Technology Summit, Jaishankar said that India's trade deals are very challenging as the US is very ambitious, and the global landscape is very different from what it was a year ago.
'This time around, we are certainly geared up for a very high degree of urgency. I mean, we see a window. We want to see stuff. So our trade deals are very, you know, they're really challenging. And we are really, when I look at the trade deals, I mean it's not my direct credit, but we have a lot to do with each other. I mean, these are people very much on top of their game, very ambitious about what they want to achieve,' he said.
Since assuming office for his second term, President Trump has reiterated his stance on tariff reciprocity, emphasising that the United States will match tariffs imposed by other countries, including India, to ensure fair trade.
The US administration, under President Donald Trump, imposed 26 per cent tariffs on India, which were then paused for 90 days. Along with India, Trump paused the reciprocal tariffs on dozens of countries that have engaged in negotiations with the US administration. However, the 125% tariff levied on China will continue.
