U.S. President Donald Trump imposed an additional 25% tariff on Indian imports, raising total duties to 50%, and warned of possible “secondary sanctions” due to India’s continued oil trade with Russia. “You’re going to see so many secondary sanctions,” Trump said, hinting China may be next. India condemned the move as “unfair, unjustified and unreasonable,” asserting its right to maintain energy ties with Russia for national interest and energy security. The Ministry of External Affairs stressed that the decision violates the spirit of strategic partnership. Trump linked the tariffs to pressuring Russia amid the Ukraine conflict. (PC: India Today)
