🔥 “Trump vs Lawmakers — Clash of Power! कौन जीता ये Political War?”
A group of U.S. House members sent a letter to President Donald Trump on 8–9 October 2025 asking him to review his tariff policy and take immediate steps to “reset and repair” the U.S.–India partnership after recent tariff escalations that the lawmakers say have strained relations.
Who signed / how many: Most major outlets report the effort was led by 19-21 lawmakers amongst them prominent were Democratic Representatives Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Deborah Ross (D-NC) and co-signed by several other Democrats including Brad Sherman, Sydney Kamlager-Dove, Raja Krishnamoorthi, and Pramila Jayapal.
Why they wrote: The letter says recent tariff moves by the Trump administration — which, according to reporting, included tariff increases on Indian goods implemented in late August 2025 (reported as up to ~50% in some coverage, described as an initial “reciprocal” 25% and additional duties tied to energy purchases from Russia) — have:
1). raised costs for U.S. consumers and manufacturers,
2). damaged complex supply chains that rely on India, and
3). risked pushing India toward closer ties with China and Russia, undermining U.S. strategic interests in the Indo-Pacific.
What the lawmakers asked for (main asks):
1). Immediate review/reversal or recalibration of the punitive tariffs affecting India.
2). Renewed diplomatic engagement and dialogue with Indian leaders to repair the relationship.
3). Recognition that the U.S.–India economic partnership supports large numbers of jobs and that tariffs risk harming U.S. competitiveness.
4). Context / background: U.S.–India trade has grown substantially in recent years; bilateral trade in goods and services was reported at about $118 billion in 2023/24 (a context point cited in reporting), and both sides have argued for strong economic ties even while trade frictions have increased in 2025.
Official representatives from US to set dialogue to restore relations
1. Mr. Sergio Gor: He is a longtime Trump aide / political operative, currently serving as Director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office (i.e. overseeing appointments)

2. Mr. S. Paul Kapur: He is a U.S. academic and scholar, with Indian origin (i.e. of
🎯 Why are they “visiting India / involved in India portfolio”?
When you say, “visit India,” it's more accurate to understand that they are taking charges over the India / South Asia diplomatic portfolio, rather than only a casual visit. Here’s what’s going on and why:
1). Diplomatic roles & responsibilities: As the U.S. Ambassador to India (Gor) and the Assistant Secretary overseeing South & Central Asian Affairs (Kapur), they will be deeply involved in shaping and executing U.S. policy toward India, neighboring countries, and regional issues.
2). Restoring relations & managing tensions: U.S.–India relations have been under strain (tariff disputes, energy import issues, etc.). These appointments signal that the U.S. wants to re-engage more strongly, repair diplomatic communication channels, and manage bilateral tensions with more direct, high-level leadership.
3). Signals to India: Through these appointments, the U.S. is sending a message that India is important in its foreign policy and that Washington intends to have more direct, trusted channels of diplomacy. Media commentary points out that Gor’s personal access to Trump may help in giving India more ear-time in U.S. decision-making.
4). Trade, strategy & regional dynamics: A lot of the India engagements will be around trade tensions, Indo-Pacific strategy, regional security, energy policy, and balancing relations with China and other regional actors.
