"Unjustified, Unreasonable" India Hits Back As Trump Threatens To Raise Tariffs Over Russian Oil

Donald Trump announced a sharp increase in tariffs on Indian goods, citing New Delhi’s continued import of Russian oil. The US President accused India of “buying massive amounts of Russian oil and selling it on the open market for big profits.” Trump had earlier imposed 25% tariff on India and an unspecified penalty for buying Russian crude oil and military equipment. India responded strongly to Trump’s latest “tariff” threat, saying that targeting New Delhi is “unjustified and unreasonable” and highlighted how the US continues to import uranium hexafluoride from Russia for its nuclear industry. n18oc_world n18oc_crux
