What India Said About Trump's Proposed New Tariffs Amid Ongoing Trade Deal Talks

Claim

Social media users are circulating posts claiming that U.S. President Donald Trump has decided to block American IT companies from outsourcing work to India amid rising tensions between the two nations.

Verdict

This claim is misleading.

What Factcheck India Found?

After reviewing official statements, credible reports, and U.S. policy updates, FactCheck India found that the claim is misleading. There has been no official announcement, executive order, or legislation from President Trump or any U.S. government agency banning IT outsourcing to India. The viral claims originated from a post by far-right activist Laura Loomer, who wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that Trump was “considering blocking outsourcing.”

JUST IN:

President Trump is now considering blocking US IT companies from outsourcing their work to Indian companies.

In other words, you don’t need to press 2 for English anymore.

Financial Express reported Loomer’s claims, speculating that such a move, if implemented, could severely impact India’s IT industry, which relies heavily on U.S. contracts for backend, technical, and support roles. However, as of now, there is no verified policy decision restricting outsourcing.

Background

U.S.-India relations have seen friction recently due to Washington’s tariffs and India’s oil trade with Russia.
During recent interactions, PM Narendra Modi responded positively to Trump’s praise, emphasizing the strategic partnership between the two nations.
In July 2025, Trump made anti-outsourcing remarks, urging companies like Google and Microsoft to “hire American workers”.

However, these statements were rhetorical and not backed by any official orders or legal changes.

Conclusion

False / Misleading. No official ban exists. The claim that President Trump has blocked outsourcing to India is misleading. There is no official U.S. policy or executive action banning outsourcing. The narrative stems from activist speculation and political rhetoric, not from any verified government decision.
