India Today
Aam Aadmi Party slammed the BJP after Donald Trump claimed he threatened 200% tariffs on India and Pakistan to halt May 2025 military tensions, calling it an "open insult" to India.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Friday launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over US President Donald Trump's claim that he had threatened to impose a “200 per cent tariff” on India and Pakistan to stop military tensions in May 2025.
In a post on X, AAP said Trump had “openly insulted” India on a global platform by claiming he forced Prime Minister Narendra Modi to halt the conflict through economic pressure. The party said even Pakistan’s Prime Minister was seen laughing during the remarks.

“Donald Trump is repeatedly questioning India’s credibility on the world stage, and Prime Minister Modi’s silence refuses to break,” AAP said. The party added that people in the country were asking how any true patriot could tolerate an insult to India.
Trump made the remarks while speaking at an event of the Board of Peace. Referring to the India-Pakistan military tensions of May 2025, he claimed he had threatened both countries with 200 per cent tariffs if they continued fighting.
“I knew Prime Minister Modi very well... I called them and I said, listen, I'm not doing trade deals with you two guys if you don't settle this up,” Trump said. “If you fight, I'm going to put 200 per cent tariffs on each of your countries.”
