U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to “substantially raise” tariffs on Indian exports over New Delhi’s continued purchase of Russian oil and military equipment. This follows his July 30 announcement of a 25% tariff on Indian goods, citing India’s alleged resale of Russian oil for profit and indifference to the Ukraine war. Trump’s remarks on Truth Social accused India of enabling Russia’s war machine and warned of further penalties. Despite five rounds of trade talks, India and the U.S. have failed to reach a deal. Trump’s stance, echoed by senior officials, risks straining bilateral ties and complicates India’s energy strategy amid global geopolitical tensions. (PC: India Today)
