US President Trump Proposes Up to 25% Tariffs on Indian Imports
US President Donald TRUMP announced a 25% tariff on Indian imports effective August 1, 2025, citing India’s high tariffs, strict trade barriers, and ongoing military and energy ties with Russia. Trump emphasized that India’s significant purchases from Russia amid the Ukraine conflict are unacceptable, leading to added penalties alongside the tariffs.
The move underscores rising trade tensions as the US seeks fairer trade terms with India. Market analysts suggest such geopolitical friction could indirectly influence cryptocurrency markets as investors seek alternative assets amid traditional market volatility.
