CCTV News reported on July 30 local time that US President Trump posted on his social media platform "Truth Social" stating that starting from August 1, the US will impose a 25% tariff on goods from India and additional punitive fees due to "inappropriate behavior".
Trump said that although India is a friend of the US, trade between the US and India has been relatively limited for many years due to India's high tariffs. Trump also spread rumors saying that India has long purchased large amounts of military equipment from Russia, and is also one of the main buyers of Russian energy along with China.
India's official has not yet responded to Trump's latest tariff threat.
