India’s Department of Posts has temporarily suspended all postal services to the United States following President Donald Trump’s imposition of steep tariffs on Indian goods. The move, announced on August 24, comes in response to a 50% tariff hike, including an additional 25% penalty linked to India’s continued purchase of Russian oil. New Delhi has condemned the tariffs as “unfair and unreasonable,” citing its energy needs and the absence of sanctions on Russian oil. The suspension affects all categories of mail, including commercial and personal parcels. This marks a sharp escalation in trade tensions, with diplomatic and logistical repercussions expected to unfold in the coming weeks.
