Congress activists burn an effigy of US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as they protest against the announcement by US President Donald Trump that he will impose a 25% tariff and fine on Indian goods from August 1. The demonstration takes place in Kolkata, India, on August 1, 2025. Protesters shout slogans and hold banners condemning the trade move, which they say will severely impact Indian exporters and worsen bilateral relations. The effigy-burning symbolizes anger at what is seen as a unilateral economic aggression. Tensions have been rising since the proposed tariffs were revealed earlier this week, sparking widespread political and public backlash across major Indian cities. The Congress party, a key opposition force, organizes several such protests nationwide, accusing both leaders of mishandling foreign policy and trade diplomacy.
