At the beginning of this week, the United States President Donald Trump, starting on Friday, announced a penalty of 25 percent mutual tariffs on Indian goods and purchases from Russia.

As of August 1, Trump said, “India will pay a 25 percent tariff,” he said. He also reported that India would face an additional tariff penalty to buy Russian energy.

If the US President, Moscow did not reach the ceasefire with Ukraine, he had determined the penalty known as secondary tariffs against the Board of Directors for everyone who bought Russian energy.

Tariffs in India

India was reported to be among the first nations that started commercial negotiations with the United States on tariffs, and Trump has repeatedly said that an agreement was close.

Trump, “Remember, even though India is our friend, we have done relatively less work with them for years because the tariffs are very high among the highest in the world”.

India accused India of having the most exhausting and disgusting financial barriers in any country ”and” they have always purchased the majority of their military equipment from Russia and is the largest energy buyer of Russia, with China at a time when Russia wanted to stop killing in Ukraine.

“Everything that is not good! India will therefore pay a 25%tariff and a penalty for the above, starting from August first,” he wrote.

The threat to India was initially forced by experts to force him to reach an agreement after he talked to the first person of India, such as he and Trade Secretary Howard Lutnick.

Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the continuous purchase of India’s Russian oil, although both countries maintain strategic ties, remained a “irritation point ında in its relationship with the United States.

His thoughts arrived a day after Trump announced a 25 percent tariff and an additional penalty for Indian imports.
