White House flags India in transshipment risk tier; ministers honour Partition victims
The White House has placed India in Tier 1 of its transshipment risk assessment, identifying the country as a major export hub for China-linked goods. The report does not impose new tariffs but warns of stricter scrutiny over country-of-origin claims as India and the US negotiate a trade agreement.
On Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, Union ministers Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, S Jaishankar and JP Nadda paid tribute to Partition victims. They recalled the suffering, displacement and loss faced by millions in 1947, honouring survivors' courage and resilience. Shah blamed Congress for Partition, while other ministers stressed learning from history and building a harmonious India.
