Trump Tariffs:

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced his plans to significantly raise tariffs on Indian exports to the country.

India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian oil, but they are then, for much of the oil purchased, selling it on the open market for big profits,' Trump reportedly wrote on a social media platform.

India said it was being 'targeted' by the U.S. and the European Union over its imports of Russian oil after U.S. President Donald Trump, in an overnight social media post, threatened New Delhi with much steeper tariffs.

India began importing oil from Russia only after traditional supplies were diverted to Europe following the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022, the Indian foreign ministry reportedly said in a statement.

The ministry stated that it was revealing that the very nations criticizing India'namely the EU and the U.S.'were themselves engaging in trade with Russia.

The EU's bilateral trade with Russia stood at 67.5 billion euros ($78.1 billion) in 2024, while its services trade in 2023 was at 17.2 billion euros, according to European Commission data. Citing that data, India said the bloc's trade was 'significantly more' than India's total trade with Russia.
