Scrap India's trade privileges could hit US consumers: Senators
美国参议员:取消对印度的贸易特惠可能会伤到美国消费者
NEW DELHI: A US plan to end preferential duty-free imports of up to $5.6 billion from India could raise costs for American consumers, two US senators have told their country's trade office, urging a delay in adopting the plan, and seeking more negotiations.
新德里:两名美国参议员向印度贸易办公室表示,美国计划终止对从印度进口的高达56亿美元的免税优惠,这可能会增加美国消费者的成本。印度敦促推迟采纳该计划,并寻求进一步谈判。
If President Donald Trump presses ahead with his plan to end the generalized system of preferences (GSP) for India, it could lose the status in early May, Indian officials have said, raising the prospect of retaliatory tariffs.
印度官员表示,印度可能在5月初失去这一地位。如果特朗普总统继续推行该计划,终止对印度的普惠制(GSP),将提高印度征收报复性关税的可能性。
India is the world's largest beneficiary of the GSP, dating from the 1970s, but trade ties with the US have widened over what Trump calls its high tariffs and concerns over New Delhi's e-commerce policies.
自上世纪70年代以来,印度一直是普惠制的全球最大受益者,由于特朗普对高关税及新德里电子商务政策的担忧,印美贸易紧张关系有所加剧。
If the United States scraps duty-free access for about 2,000 product lines, it will mostly hurt small and medium businesses in India, such as makers of engineering goods.
如果美国取消约2,000种产品的免税准入,将主要损害印度的中小型企业,比如工程产品制造商。
Despite close political ties, trade between India and the United States, which stood at $126 billion in 2017, is widely seen to be performing at nearly a quarter of its potential.
两国政治关系密切,2017年印美贸易额为1260亿美元,然而外界普遍认为仅达到潜在贸易额的四分之一。
Trade relations suffered in the past few months after India adopted new rules on e-commerce reining in how companies such as Amazon.com Inc and Walmart Inc-backed Flipkart do business.
过去几个月,印度出台了限制亚马逊和沃尔玛持股的Flipkart等公司经营方式的电商新规,印美贸易关系因此受损。
Last June, India said it would step up import duties varying from 20 per cent to 120 per cent on a slew of US farm, steel and iron products, angered by Washington's refusal to exempt it from new steel and aluminium tariffs.
去年6月,华盛顿拒绝免除对印度钢铁和铝征收的新关税,激怒了印度。印度表示,将对一系列美国农产品、钢铁及钢铁制品加征20%至120%不等的进口关税。
But it has since repeatedly delayed adopting the higher duties.
但自那以来,印度一再推迟征收更高的关税。

Such issues are not addressed by retaliation. Trade is successful only when both parties meet their objectives. It is not who gets less or more. There is give and take. World has changed a lot since 1970. Review of the agreement to suit today's scenario is what both parties need to do and convince each other and agree to the terms.
这些问题不能通过报复来解决。只有当双方都达到各自的目标时,贸易才会成功。不是谁受益少或受益多的问题,有付出才有回报。自1970年以来,世界发生了很大的变化。双方需要做的是,对协议进行审查,以适应当前的情况,并说服对方接受条款。

India has largest population and wider market than any country. If India want then it can prosper within itself without depending on any countries. That is what the unique religion of Hindu teaches the people. Indian citizen has to stop relying on any products made outside the country. India has to start production of its own weapons, medicines, electronic, etc. rather than depending on developed country like US, Russia, France, Isarel, etc..
印度是世界上人口最多、市场最广的国家。只要愿意,印度可以在不依赖任何国家的情况下实现自给自足。印度公民不能依赖任何外国商品。

Face it that Indian exports to the U.S. are quite inconsequential for them and will hardly hurt them. Our exporters will be hurt more. So instead of fake sabre-rattling the right move be to negotiate.
