US Lawmakers Urge Trump for Tariff Relief on Pulses from India

• US lawmakers are seeking a reduction in India's 30% duty on American pulses, impacting US farmers.
• Senators Kevin Cramer (North Dakota) and Steve Daines (Montana) wrote to President Trump, highlighting losses faced by pulse producers.
• North Dakota and Montana are major pulse-producing states, and India is the world's largest consumer of pulses.
• India imposed a 30% duty on yellow peas last year, which lawmakers argue hinders US exports.
• Lawmakers believe tariff reduction would benefit both US farmers and Indian consumers, fostering economic cooperation.
