Trump tariffs impact: Tamil Nadu’s US-bound textile exports hit pause, Rs 6,000 crore trade at risk

Tiruppur's garment industry faces challenges as the United States imposes new tariffs. Several manufacturers suspend production, and others consider their options. American buyers pause existing orders, leading to uncertainty. The tariff hike follows India's continued purchase of Russian oil. Exporters plan to explore alternative markets like the UK. Other sectors, including chemicals and leather, are also likely to be affected.
