What coverage agrees on

There is broad agreement that India reacted sharply to the U.S. labor move and to JD Vance’s comments, which India described as deeply offensive. The reporting also agrees that the affected firms include major Indian IT companies and that the U.S. side framed the measure as a way to reduce foreign worker employment.

What is changing or disputed
