United States - U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff hike proposal has faced opposition within the country. Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence has expressed dissatisfaction with Trump’s decision.

Pence has criticized the proposed 50% tariff hike on Indian goods, stating it is harmful to American companies and consumers. He cited the example of Ford’s financial losses, noting in a tweet that tariffs lead to losses rather than development.

What’s on X?

Pence posted on his X account, stating, “American companies and consumers are the ones bearing the cost of tariffs.”

According to an article, Ford Motor Company, despite manufacturing most of its cars in the U.S., paid $800 million in tariff-related costs in the second quarter of 2025.
