Trump to put additional 25% import taxes on India, bringing combined tariffs to 50%
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday to place an additional 25% tariff on India for its purchases of Russian oil, bringing the combined tariff imposed by the United States on its ally to 50%. The tariffs would go into effect 21 days after the signing of the order, meaning that both India and Russia might have time to negotiate with the administration on the import taxes. Trump's moves could scramble the economic trajectory of India, which until recently was seen as an alternative to China by American companies looking to relocate their manufacturing. China also buys oil from Russia, but it was not included in the order signed by the Republican president. As part of a negotiating period with Beijing, Trump has placed 30% tariffs on goods from China, a rate that is smaller than the combined import taxes with which he has threatened New Delhi. Trump had previewed for reporters on Tuesday that the tariffs would be coming, saying the U.S. had a meeting with Russia on Wednesday as the Trump administration tries to end the war in Ukraine. Trump had not spoke about the new tariffs Wednesday, but he posted on Truth Social that special envoy Steve Witkoff's talks with Russian leader Vladimir Putin were 'highly productive." The Indian government on Wednesday called the additional tariffs 'unfortunate." 'We reiterate that these actions are unfair, unjustified and unreasonable,' Foreign Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal said in a statement, adding that India would take all actions necessary to protect its interests. Jaiswal said India has already made its stand clear that the country's imports were based on market factors and were part of an overall objective of ensuring energy security for its 1.4 billion people. Ajay Srivastava, a former Indian trade official, said the latest tariff places the country among the most heavily taxed U.S. trading partners and far above rivals such as China, Vietnam and Bangladesh. 'The tariffs are expected to make Indian goods far costlier with the potential to cut exports by around 40%-50% to the U.S.,' he said. Srivastava said Trump's decision was 'hypocritical' because China bought more Russian oil than India did last year. 'Washington avoids targeting Beijing because of China's leverage over critical minerals which are vital for U.S. defense and technology,' he said. In 2024, the U.S. ran a $45.8 billion trade deficit in goods with India, meaning America imported more from India than it exported, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. American consumers and businesses buy pharmaceutical drugs, precious stones and textiles and apparel from India, among other goods. At the world's largest country, India represented a way for the U.S. to counter China's influence in Asia. But India has not supported the Ukraine-related sanctions by the U.S. and its allies on Moscow even as India's leaders have maintained that they want peace. The U.S. and China are currently in negotiations on trade, with Washington imposing a 30% tariff on Chinese goods and facing a 10% retaliatory tax from Beijing on American products. The planned tariffs on India contradict past efforts by the Biden administration and other nations in the Group of Seven leading industrialized nations that encouraged India to buy cheap Russian oil through a price cap imposed in 2022. The nations collectively capped Russian oil a $60 per barrel at a time when prices in the market were meaningfully higher, The intent was to deprive the Kremlin of revenue to fund its war in Ukraine, forcing the Russian government either to sell its oil at a discount or divert money for a costly alternative shipping network. The price cap was rolled out to equal parts skepticism and hopefulness that the policy would stave off Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine. The cap has required shipping and insurance companies to refuse to handle oil shipments above the cap, though Russia has been able to evade the cap by shipping oil on a 'shadow fleet' of old vessels using insurers and trading companies located in countries that are not enforcing sanctions. But oil prices have fallen with a barrel trading on Wednesday morning at $65.84, up 1% on the day. __ Roy reported from New Delhi. Solve the daily Crossword

ESPN swallowing NFL RedZone, Hulu getting integrated, and Wrestlemania: Disney's big streaming swings, explained
The streaming wars entered yet another new iteration on Wednesday as Disney announced a major change to the division that it calls direct-to-consumer: Disney+ will integrate Hulu's operations, transforming into something that looks a lot like the old linear TV bundle. As CEO Bob Iger told investors on the company's third-quarter earnings call, 'combining Hulu into Disney plus [will] create a unified app experience featuring branded and general entertainment, news, and sports resulting in a one of a kind entertainment destination for subscribers.' The night before Disney released its third-quarter earnings, the company confirmed it had struck a deal with its long-time partner in sports, the National Football League, an asset and equity swap that sees the NFL getting a 10% stake in Disney's ESPN division and ESPN/Disney acquiring several streaming assets from the NFL. The NFL's 10% stake in ESPN is valued between $2 billion and $3 billion, per estimates from Octagon. ESPN will gain the rights to three additional NFL games per season, previously broadcast by the NFL's own networks, meaning more of America's highest-rated TV show, live football, will be Disney's as the company fortifies its streaming war chest. Disney has been reconstructing ESPN to survive the decline of linear TV with the launch of a standalone streaming service, and it will now plug in content beloved by football fanatics: the NFL Network, NFL RedZone distribution rights, and NFL Fantasy Football. In streaming, Netflix and Amazon have each acquired more NFL rights over recent years, so Disney's move shows its playing defense and some offense, too, on this front. Disney also announced an expanded agreement with the WWE, another recent Netflix partner, which subsequently emerged as a $1.6 billion deal that will make Disney the home of the marquee event, Wrestlemania. Iger said on the earnings call that ESPN 'will be the exclusive home for WWE Premium Live Events, further expanding ESPN's rights portfolio.' On Disney's plans in this area, Iger added Disney is 'building ESPN into the preeminent digital sports platform with our highly anticipated direct to consumer sports offering.' Disney revealed in its earnings that the sports division, anchored by ESPN, saw revenue fall 5% to $4.3 billion, mainly because of higher NBA and college-sports rights fees. Segment profit, however, soared 29% to $1 billion as a merger in its Indian unit took some losses off its balance sheet. Streaming profitable amid linear TV, movie studio decline Overall, third-quarter earnings showed resilience in key business segments for Disney such as streaming and theme parks, even as its traditional TV and film studio divisions showed fatigue. Total revenue for the quarter ending June 28 rose 2% year-over-year to $23.7 billion, just under Wall Street forecasts, while adjusted earnings per share climbed 16% to $1.61, surpassing analyst expectations of $1.47. Net income before taxes rose 4% to $3.2 billion. A headline achievement for Disney was the solid performance of its streaming business, which posted a 6% revenue increase to $6.2 billion and achieved operating profit of $346 million—a substantial turnaround from a $19 million loss reported in the same quarter last year. Subscriber metrics reflected steady gains, with Disney+ ticking up 1% quarter-over-quarter for a total of 128 million and Hulu by the same margin to 55.5 million subscribers. The combined Disney+ and Hulu subscriber base climbed to 183 million, up 2.6 million versus the previous quarter. Disney also finalized its acquisition of the remaining stake in Hulu from Comcast/NBCUniversal in June, setting the stage for a tighter integration of its streaming brands later this year. Meanwhile, Disney's studio entertainment segment saw a more modest 1% revenue growth to $10.7 billion, weighed down by a 15% drop in operating income to $1 billion. Theatrical releases, including original animated and live-action remakes, underperformed compared to last year's strong box-office showing with 'Inside Out 2.' Additionally, Disney's linear TV networks, including ABC and Disney Channel, recorded a 15% year-over-year decline in revenue to $2.3 billion, underscoring ongoing challenges from cord-cutting and lower international results following the Star India deal. Looking ahead, Disney expects total subscriptions for Disney+ and Hulu to rise by over 10 million in the next quarter, driven in part by an expanded agreement with Charter Communications. Theme parks and experiences shine Disney's 'Experiences' segment—which covers theme parks, cruise lines, and consumer products—delivered robust numbers, outstripping earlier forecasts. Q3 revenue increased 8% year-over-year to $9.1 billion, fueled by a 22% surge in operating income at domestic parks and experiences to $1.7 billion. Disney pointed to strong guest spending and higher occupancy rates in its parks and cruise lines, especially at Walt Disney World, despite the highly anticipated opening of competitor Universal's Epic Universe in Orlando. Executives emphasized the 'continued resilience' of Disney's park business in the face of new competition. Guidance raised, optimism for 2025 Notably, Disney raised its guidance for fiscal 2025, projecting adjusted earnings of $5.85 per share—an 18% increase over the prior year. The company also anticipates double-digit segment operating income growth in entertainment and sports, with an 8% gain in experiences for the full year. CEO Bob Iger affirmed Disney's commitment to global expansion, noting more active park expansions than at any time in Disney's history and highlighting ongoing strategic investments in streaming, theme parks, and sports as drivers for future growth. 'Disney is not done building, and we are excited for the future,' Iger said following the earnings release. For this story, Fortune used generative AI to help with an initial draft.

Phones, jewelry, linens: Which products could cost more due to Trump's India tariffs?
President Donald Trump announced the United States will impose an additional 25% tariff on Indian goods, bringing import levies on some items as high as 50%. The Wednesday, Aug. 6, order from the president comes less than a week after the first round of 25% tariff hikes were announced for the South Asian nation and significant U.S. trading partner. Trump cited New Delhi's continued imports of Russian oil as the reason behind this newest measure, sharply escalating tensions between the two countries after months of negotiations over a possible limited trade agreement fell through. The new tariffs on some Indian goods would be among the steepest faced by any U.S. trading partner. Trade analysts warned the tariffs could severely disrupt Indian exports, according to Reuters. The president's order says the additional 25% tariff will go into effect 21 days after the previously-announced 25% tariff, which was set to take hold Aug. 7. Trump announced the initial 25% tariff in a post on his social media app Truth Social on July 30, two days before a bevy of increased reciprocal tariffs went into effect for dozens of nations on Aug. 1. India, the world's fifth largest economy in 2024, relies significantly on the U.S., counting it as its top trading partner last year. Indian goods exported to the U.S. totaled $87 billion in 2024, according to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, with pharmaceuticals and jewelry among its top product types, followed by petrochemicals and textiles. Separately, services exports, mainly IT and professional services, were worth $33 billion last year. The U.S. is India's third-largest investor, and has a $45.7 billion trade deficit with the South Asian nation. Here are some of the products the U.S. relies on most from India, as previously reported by USA TODAY. Pharmaceuticals The U.S. accounts for nearly a third of India's pharmaceutical exports, mainly cheaper versions of popular drugs, Reuters reports, with sales jumping 16% to about $9 billion last fiscal year. Among the dozens of types of medications and supplies the U.S. imports from India, a few classifications make up a significant share. They are items like wadding, gauze and bandages; antineoplastic and immunosuppressive medications, including those used to treat cancers; and analgesics, antipyretics and nonhormonal anti-inflammatory agents, such as pain relievers and medications used to reduce fevers. Smartphones Though China and Vietnam were responsible for more than half of phones sent to the U.S. last year, India also produces a significant share, and looks to be gaining a firmer foothold in the market. According to a new report, India has overtaken China in the last few months as the top exporter of smartphones to the U.S., following Apple's pivot to center manufacturing in New Delhi amid tariff concerns. The share of U.S. smartphone shipments assembled in China fell from 61% to 25% over the past year, the research firm Canalys said, with India picking up most of the decline and increasing its smartphone volume by 240% roughly within the same time frame. More: Trump's trade talks intensify with tariff deadline fast approaching Jewelry and precious stones Next to pharmaceuticals, jewelry and precious stones are among India's top products exported to American consumers. About 30% of India's gems and jewelry exports go to the U.S., accounting for about $10 billion in annual trade, said Kirit Bhansali, chairman of the Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council of India, per Reuters. These goods include unmounted or unset diamonds, precious metal jewelry and jewelry clad with precious metal − such as pieces plated with gold or silver. Home linens India is among the top countries responsible for imported home linens in the U.S., representing 36% of nearly $6 billion in imports, according to a New York Times analysis of government data. These products include bathroom and kitchen linen made of terrycloth or cotton, along with bed and table linens. India is also a leader in some types of imported clothing, such as activewear, shirts, baby clothes and suits. According to the Yale Budget Lab, the tariff hikes so far have disproportionately affected clothing and textiles, with consumers facing up to 39% higher shoe prices and 37% higher apparel prices in the short run. Other products The U.S. also relies on Indian imports of frozen shrimp and prawns, petroleum oils such as transformer oil and motor fuel, semiconductor technologies like solar panels and certain types of electrical machinery and parts.
