Trump’s tariffs on India
In August, US President Donald Trump announced that he would impose a 25 percent customs duty plus penalties on India for doing business with Russia. A few days later, Trump again announced an additional 25 percent tariff against India, bringing the total tax to 50 percent. India called the move “unfair, unreasonable and unfair”.
The tariffs caused ties between the two countries to deteriorate. However, in recent days there has been a thaw in relations between New Delhi and Washington.
