'Donald Trump's tariffs could push India closer to…': Ex-US NSA John Bolton warns president

Former US National Security Advisor John Bolton has warned that President Donald Trump's tariff measures against India, intended to hurt Russia, could end up having the opposite effect by pushing New Delhi closer to Moscow and Beijing. US President Donald Trump has slapped an additional 25 per cent tariff on goods coming from India as penalty for New Delhi's continued buying of Russian oil.(PTI file) "Trump's tariffs against India are intended to hurt Russia but they could push India closer to Russia and to China to oppose these tariffs," John Bolton told CNN in an interview. The former NSA further cautioned, 'Trump's leniency on the Chinese, and heavy-handed tariffs on India, jeopardise decades of American efforts to bring India away from Russia and China.' In an opinion piece for The Hill, Bolton said Trump's approach of favouring China over India on trade is 'an enormous mistake and entirely counterproductive for America". He argued that the tariffs do not align with America's long-term geopolitical goals, as the US is 'levying tariffs on friend and foe alike". "Unfortunately, based on international reactions so far, the U.S. by levying tariffs on friend and foe alike has likely suffered a considerable loss of trust and confidence, built up over decades of effort, in exchange for minimal economic gains — if any — and the risk of formidable losses," he wrote. Bolton claimed the White House 'seems headed toward more-lenient treatment for Beijing on tariff rates and other metrics than it imposed on New Delhi,' warning that 'if so, it will be a potentially enormous mistake.' He noted that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has suggested China's August 12 deadline could be extended if negotiations appeared promising. "Trump announced on July 30 that India's tariff rate would be 26 percent, 1 point lower than originally proposed on Apr. 2, but a major increase from the previous average rate of 2.4 percent. Moreover, Trump harshly criticized India's acquisition of Russian military equipment, underlining a longstanding U.S.-India disagreement, and Indian purchases of Russian oil and gas in violation of America's Ukraine-related sanctions. (India is also one of the BRICS countries, which Trump separately singled out for a 10 percent tariff.)," Bolton wrote. He warned that resentment in India could escalate if China secured a better trade arrangement. "China runs a significantly larger trade surplus with the U.S. than does India. Washington has also long complained about Chinese trade practices, which include stealing intellectual property, unfairly subsidizing its international companies and denying access to China's domestic market, contrary to repeated commitments," Bolton said. Donald Trump has announced a 50% tariff on Indian exports, penalising the country for its Russian oil imports. India and Brazil share the top spot among countries on the US tariff list. Trump's decision to punish India came as negotiations between the two countries on a trade deal were expected to conclude. The US president's remarks that India's economy as 'dead' and its tariff barriers 'obnoxious' further strained relations between the two countries. India's external affairs ministry termed the imposition of additional tariffs as 'extremely unfortunate' as other countries also trade with the Russian Federation.

Revealed: This Indian private company bought the most oil from Russia, the name is..., now tariff may affect profit and margin both

Revealed: This Indian private company bought the most oil from Russia, the name is..., now tariff may affect profit and margin both As the Indian government continues to gauge the impact of additional 25 per cent tariff, total 50 per cent, announced by US President Donald Trump, the Indian company, which is the largest buyer of Russian oil, has warned of far reaching consequences of Washington's arbitrary decision. According to a report, Reliance Industries is India's largest buyer of Russian crude oil. Reliance Industries, in its annual report for the year ending March 2025, underlined that global crude oil prices remained volatile due to geopolitical tension in the Middle East, shifting shipping routes, OPEC and non-OPEC output decisions and other reasons. However, the company did not mention US tariff imposition in the report. India historically bought most of its oil from the Middle East, including Iraq and Saudi Arabia. However, things changed when Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. India, the world's third-largest crude importer after China and the US, began snapping up Russian oil that was available at a discount after some in the West shunned it as a means to punish Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine. Why has Trump singled out India? Earlier this week, US President Donald Trump on slapped an additional 25 per cent tariff, raising it to 50 per cent, on goods coming from India as penalty for New Delhi's continued purchase of Russian oil, a move that is likely to hit sectors such as textiles, marine and leather exports hard. The United States has imposed this additional tariff or penalty for Russian imports only on India while other buyers such as China and Turkey have so far escaped such measures. The 30 per cent tariff on China and 15 per cent on Turkey is lower than India's 50 per cent. What is Trump's stance? Donald Trump stated that trade negotiations with India will not proceed until the ongoing tariff dispute is resolved, after his administration decided to double tariffs on Indian imports. When pressed by news agency ANI at the Oval Office, whether he expected talks to resume in light of the new 50% tariff. 'No, not until we get it resolved,' he replied.

Trump's tariff shocker: How India's commodities and currency reacted

Bullion: Gold and Silver Soar to New Heights Live Events Energy Commodities: Crude Oil and Natural Gas Decline Base Metals: Volatility Takes Center Stage Currency Markets: Rupee Nears Record Lows Broader Implications and Outlook (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our ETMarkets WhatsApp channel In a dramatic escalation of trade tensions, U.S. President Donald Trump imposed a 25% tariff on all Indian imports effective August 1, 2025, followed by an additional 25% tariff on August 6. The move, part of a broader geopolitical strategy targeting India's continued trade with Russia, has had immediate and far-reaching consequences across India's financial and commodity most striking reaction came from the bullion market . On 8th August, Indian gold prices surged to a new lifetime high, driven by global uncertainty, a weakening rupee, and fears of inflationary pressures stemming from the tariffs. Silver prices also rallied, hovering near recent tariffs may directly impact India's gems and jewellery industry, as it is one of the largest exported items from India to the U.S. buyers facing higher costs, demand for Indian gold jewellery may decline abroad, but domestic investors have turned to gold as a safe haven. The surge in prices reflects both speculative buying and a hedge against currency contrast, crude oil and natural gas prices in India fell sharply following the tariff announcements. This counterintuitive move was largely driven by fears of reduced global demand and potential oversupply, as India—one of the world's largest oil importers—faces trade penalties for continuing to buy discounted Russian U.S. tariffs, viewed as a penalty for India's energy ties with Russia, have created uncertainty in global energy flows. Traders anticipate that India may diversify its oil sources, potentially reducing spot market demand. Additionally, the broader risk-off sentiment in global markets has weighed on energy prices, with natural gas futures also declining amid expectations of slower industrial metals such as copper, aluminium, zinc, and lead have experienced heightened volatility. These metals are critical to India's engineering and manufacturing exports, many of which are now subject to the 25% and aluminium, in particular, saw sharp intraday swings as traders weighed the impact of reduced export competitiveness against potential increase in domestic demand. With U.S. buyers likely to shift sourcing to other countries, Indian exporters face shrinking order books. However, some domestic manufacturers may benefit from reduced export competition, creating a complex and volatile pricing Indian rupee has not been spared. It is trading near Rs 88 against the dollar, near its record weak levels. The depreciation reflects investor concerns over India's trade balance, potential capital outflows, and the broader economic impact of the tariffs.A weaker rupee makes imports more expensive, adding to inflationary pressures, but it also makes Indian exports more competitive globally—though this advantage is largely offset by the tariffs tariffs have triggered a chain reaction across India's economy. But India's response has been measured. Rather than retaliate with counter-tariffs, the government is focusing on trade negotiations and structural reforms. Meanwhile, the government is exploring trade diversification strategies, including boosting exports to Europe, Africa, and Southeast the short term, volatility is likely to persist across commodities and currency markets. But in the long run, this episode may accelerate India's push for self-reliance, trade diversification, and deeper integration into global supply chains.(The author is Head of Commodity Research, Geojit Investments Limited)
