Trump Threatens Tariff Hike on Indian Exports Over Russia Oil Trade

Former U.S. President Donald TRUMP has vowed to impose higher tariffs on Indian exports, citing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's continued oil trade with Russia. In a Truth Social post, Trump accused India of profiting from discounted Russian crude while ignoring the humanitarian toll of Moscow's war in Ukraine. The threat follows a 25% tariff announced last week after failed trade negotiations between Washington and New Delhi.

Indian officials appear unmoved by the warning. Neither state-run nor private refiners have received government directives to curb Russian oil imports. With an August 8 ceasefire deadline looming, the U.S. has warned of secondary sanctions against nations still purchasing Russian energy—a category that includes India.
