‘I Never Said A Percentage’: Trump Backtracks On Russian Oil Tariff Threat — What It Means For India, China And Who’s Really In The Crosshairs | World News

Washington: 2028 In the Los Angeles Olympics, what started as a routine press briefing quickly turned into a window on Donald Trump’s developing global agenda. The US President, which revealed an unexpected question, returned with new tariffs on Russian oil -buying countries.

In short, although it was short, he sent fluctuations from foreign capitals, and even if China avoided similar examination, the US has put a potentially dramatic change in economic pressure tactics that could hit allies such as India.

“I never said a percentage. But we will do it a little bit. We will see what will happen in the next quite a short time. Tomorrow we are having a meeting with Russia. We will see what will happen, Tr Trump explained when asked for 100% tariff plans.

This statement previously watched his statements and argued that he could increase “very important” tariffs in Indian imports within 24 hours. The reason is that India is an ongoing energy trade with Russia.

“They feed the war machine, and if they are going to do it, then I will not be happy, Tr Trump said to CNBC in an interview, as reported by Reuters.

He also marked India’s existing tariff structure as a point of adhesion in bilateral trade.

Trump first published the warning in Social, the social media platform. There, “India not only buys a large amount of Russian oil, then they sell it in the open market for large snow for the large part of the purchased oil.

Former US, the United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley also hosted the issue. In an article in X (formerly called twitter), he pointed out how the Trump administration treated China during this time. He pointed out that China, which he described as an enemy and the number one receiver of Russian and Iranian oil, was given a 90 -day tariff pause.

“India should not buy oil from Russia. But China, an enemy and the number one recipient of Russian and Iranian oil, received a 90 -day tariff pause. Don’t switch to China and do not burn a relationship with a strong ally like India,” he said.

Haley had previously competed in the Republican principles, but Trump was the last of his great rivals coming out of the race.

While Trump continues to indicate tariff increases, Haley’s statement reminds us of a wider geopolitical results. Speaking about oil imports, strategic alliances and tariff policy now contains strong voices from the US political organization.

In the coming days, the White House can provide more explanation about new policy decisions and tariffs while preparing for the meeting with Russia.
