India will not “bow down” to Washington, Trade Minister Piyush Goyal said Friday, after the US imposed 50 percent tariffs on Indian goods over its Russian oil purchases. He pledged to boost exports through new markets and government support, Al Jazeera reported.

The tariffs, denounced by New Delhi as “unfair,” have already forced cancellations in sectors like textiles, seafood and jewelry, raising job loss concerns.

Separately, a US appeals court ruled that President Donald Trump overstepped his authority with blanket tariffs, though the levies remain in force until at least October 14 pending a Supreme Court appeal.
