Trump threatens 50% tariffs on India for buying Russian oil
What Happened
President Donald Trump has threatened to impose 50% tariffs on India in response to the country’s decision to purchase Russian oil. The threat came after India signed a $5 billion deal to buy Russian oil, defying U.S. sanctions on Russia. Trump expressed his dissatisfaction with India’s actions, stating that such a move would not be tolerated and could lead to significant tariffs on Indian goods.
India, on the other hand, justified its decision by citing its energy needs and the competitive pricing offered by Russia. Indian officials emphasized that they have a longstanding defense relationship with Russia and that the oil deal was crucial for their energy security.
The escalating tensions between the U.S., India, and Russia have raised concerns about the potential impact on global trade and diplomatic relations. The situation remains uncertain as both India and the U.S. stand firm on their positions, risking a trade war that could have far-reaching consequences.
