#WATCH | Delhi | At the Columbia India Energy Dialogue 2025, Union Minister Piyush Goyal says, "...Trade is a different issue. Trade talks are going on very well. If they (EU, UK) put in a carbon tax, we'll retaliate. There's no problem. And they will put it on products which will really hurt their own economy. The retaliation will be on products, which will further hurt their economy. So, I think it will be very silly, particularly to put a tax on friendly countries like India. I am in continuous dialogue with them, and I hope a wiser sense will prevail with the European Union."
