Tariff war: Lutnick says India and Brazil need to be 'fixed'
US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick controversially stated the US needs to "fix" India, Brazil, and Switzerland for trade deals, imposing high tariffs for their "incorrect" responses. His "mafioso-like" language drew sharp criticism, with commentators likening him to a "mafia consigliere." India, however, has responded coolly, asserting its national interest in trade negotiations.
