Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha MP Milind Deora criticised the United States for "rhetoric" risking ties with India amid 50 per cent tariffs on Indian goods.

Sharing an X post on Friday, Deora mentioned that his late father, the former Union Minister Murli Deora, had worked to strengthen India-US ties.

"It's disappointing to hear rhetoric from the US that risks straining ties between two leading democracies. Many, including my late father, worked tirelessly to bring India & the US closer for the benefit of both nations & the world. I truly hope wiser counsel will prevail," the Shiv Sena MP wrote.
