Godi Media reaction was personal attack, which was a bad idea.
India (or for that matter Bangladesh or Pakistan) are not in a position to bad mouth Trump at this time.
Someone should tamp down Ms. Sharma and ask her to shut her hatch. She's only making things worse than they already are.

Regardless of the news - tariffs for Bangladesh is quite high (though lower than India at 20% apparently).
Concessions agreed for this shakedown has been equally bad for India and Indonesia too, ditto for Vietnam.
The only winner has been Japan at 15% tariff applied.
India had to agree to buy 100 Boeing airplanes, Indonesia 50 of them, even Bangladesh has to buy 25 planes.
BD orders 25 Boeing airplanes as tradeoff
Bangladesh orders the purchase of 25 Boeing airplanes from the United States in a tradeoff package to secure a fairer tariff deal as the US administration imposed prohibitive duties on its exports.Commerce Secretary Mahbubur Rahman Monday apprised reporters at his secretariat office about the...

Plus Bangladesh had to agree to buy US Wheat, Soybean and an almost unlimited amount of cotton to process into clothes for re-export.
I can fully understand Indian leaders' predicaments - they being in a different spot than export-dependent economies like Bangladesh. India is a self-sufficient local-spending-based economy which must be protected from US products invading its shores.
But this means that it cannot be an insular economy and an export powerhouse at the same time.
So - India's exports like IT services and Pharma (also electronics to some extent) may suffer. But to what extent, remains to be seen. Autos are another story, primary export market for Indian-assembled autos are EU and non-US countries.

Modi let India down again. Such a travesty and a huge disappointment.
Feku Fakery and Failure... this is how the cookie crumbles.
I am sad for Indians - they swallowed his kool-aid in large numbers and did not see through his fake showmanship.
SIGH.

Major US retailers including Walmart, Amazon, Target and Gap have suspended imports of apparel and textile products from India after President Donald Trump imposed a 50 per cent tariff on Indian goods.
NDTV Profit, citing industry sources, reported that Indian exporters have received letters and emails from American buyers instructing them to hold shipments of apparel and textile products until further notice.
The retailers, unwilling to absorb the additional duty, are seeking to pass the extra cost onto exporters, it added.
With costs rising by an estimated 30 per cent to 35 per cent due to the tariff hike, exporters warn that US-bound orders could fall by 40 per cent to 50 per cent.
The impact may cause losses ranging from $4 billion to $5 billion.
Major Indian exporters such as Welspun Living, Gokaldas Exports, Indo Count and Trident rely heavily on the US market, with 40 per cent to 70 per cent of their sales tied directly to American retailers.
The US is also the biggest export destination for India’s textile and garment industry.
In the financial year ending March 2025, 28 per cent of India’s total $36.61 of textile and garment exports went to the US.
As the world’s sixth-largest textile and garment exporter, India now fears losing orders to Bangladesh and Vietnam, which face a 20 per cent tariff instead.
