US President Donald Trump on Wednesday imposed a 25 % additional tariff on Indian imports, which increased the total tariff to 50 percent. In the executive order of Trump, he said it stored a new tariff over the Indian continuing purchase of oil from Russia.
Trump’s order comes days after he threatened India “punishment” if he continues to import oil from Russia, which is in the war with Ukraine – a conflict that the US President has repeatedly asked by Russian President Vladimir Putin to end.
The tariffs would come into force 21 days after signing the order, which means that India and Russia may have time to negotiate with the import tax.
