US Senators Urge Trump: Seek Tariff Relief for Pulse Exports to India

• US Senators Kevin Cramer and Steve Daines urged President Trump to press India to remove its 30% tariff on imported pulses.
• The lawmakers argue that India's tariffs create a significant competitive disadvantage for American pulse farmers in the Indian market.
• North Dakota and Montana, key pulse-producing states in the US, are heavily impacted by India's import duties, especially on yellow peas.
• Senators highlighted that India is the world's largest market for pulses and engaging PM Modi on tariffs would benefit both US producers and Indian consumers.
• They recalled Trump's previous role in 2020 in engaging PM Modi on trade discussions, hoping for a similar intervention.
