US President Donald Trump, who ordered another 25 % tariff in India for linking to new Delhi with Russia, again indicated the imposition of “secondary sanctions”. However, it remains unclear whether Donald Trump threatened secondary sanctions only for India or other countries.
Donald Trump made a fresh threat of “secondary sanctions” when he asked him why India was “chosen” for its business ties with Russia, but not other countries that buy Russian energy.
While Donald Trump decided not to answer this question, he warned “much more secondary sanctions” in the coming days. Trump noted, “It was only 8 hours. We’ll see what happens. You’ll see much more … you’ll see so many secondary sanctions.”
The US President also indicated that sanctions can also be stored on China.
“It could happen. It depends on how we are doing. It could happen,” Donald Trump said.
This comes hours after Donald Trump slapped another 25 % tariff for the purchase of Russian energy – an investment that, as the US President says, “supports” Moscow with the war in Ukraine.
Just a week ago, Donald Trump slapped 25 percent of import duties on Indian products and quoted the higher tariffs of the new Delhi. There was also a risk of “additional sanctions” for Indian trade in Russia.
Another 25 % tariff will be effective 21 days after 7 August.
What happens after 50 % of Trump’s tariff to India?
The new import tax will increase obligations on some Indian exports up to 50 %. This is said to be the highest selection for every business partner in the US.
How did India react?
In her first reaction, India strongly criticized the latest executive order Donald Trump, who imposed another 25 % tariff on Indian goods and described this step as “unfair, unfounded and disproportionate”.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said in recent dialogues with the US explained its position “abundant” and stated that energy imports are conducted by the dynamics of the market and its aim is to ensure energy security for its 1.4 billion citizens.
“It is extremely unfortunate that the US would decide to deposit other tariffs in India for events that several other countries also accept in their own national interest,” the government said.
India also warned that “it would take all the steps necessary to protect her national interests”.
