Washington: More than 1200 rallies took place in the US on Saturday to oppose the policies of President Donald Trump and businessman Elon Musk. The demonstration aimed to raise a voice against the government’s decisions on issues such as job cuts, economy, and human rights.
This protest has been named Hands Off. Hands Off means- ‘stay away from our rights’. The purpose of this slogan is to show that the protesters do not want anyone to control their rights.
More than 150 organizations participated in this protest. This included civil rights organizations, labor unions, LGBTQ+ volunteers, veterans and election workers. This protest was held in Washington DC on the National Mall, State Capitol and in all 50 states.
Elon Musk claims- Government jobs are being cut to save taxpayers’ money
Elon Musk is the head of the Department of Government Efficiency in the Trump government of America. He claims that reducing the government machinery will save billions of dollars of taxpayers. The White House said that President Trump is fully committed to Social Security and Medicare schemes. But the Democrats want to give the benefits of these schemes to illegal immigrants.
Trump imposed reciprocal tax to increase production in America
On April 2, US President Donald Trump announced a reciprocal tax on other countries. He announced a 26% tariff on India. During this, he said that India is very strict. Modi is my good friend, but he is not treating us properly.
Apart from India, 34% tariff will be imposed on China, 20% on European Union, 25% on South Korea, 24% on Japan, 46% on Vietnam and 32% on Taiwan. America has decided to impose half the tariff on about 60 countries as compared to their tariff.
India said- our economy can bear this tariff
This is the first official response from India after Trump announced the tit for tat tariffs. India’s Commerce Ministry has said that it is assessing the impact of the 26% tariff. An official said that this tariff will affect some sectors, but India’s economy can withstand it.
According to reports, an official said that there are such provisions in the Trump administration that if India addresses the concerns of America, then some relief can be given in the tariff. India is considering taking steps in this direction.
