The United States announced that it will impose a 50% tariff on Indian imports starting from August 27.
From today, India will become one of the countries with the highest tariff levels among all U.S. trade partners. This tariff measure comes after Trump stated that India is still directly or indirectly importing Russian oil.
According to U.S. media CNN, the White House again accused India today of indirectly funding Russia's war in Ukraine by increasing purchases of Russian oil, and stated that this behavior must stop, otherwise a 100% tariff will be imposed on Indian imports.
According to India's "India Today", the Indian Foreign Minister Sujan Singh said today that trade negotiations between India and the United States are still ongoing. Washington is upset about India's purchase of Russian oil, while other major buyers such as China and the European Union are not subject to tariffs, which is an example of two standards used by the United States to find excuses.
