CNBC Daily Open: Russian oil costs India big

India's set to face a 50% tariff after the White House announced an additional 25% levy on the South Asian country Wednesday over its purchases of Russian oil. That's now among the highest duties on any of the U.S.' trading partners. New Delhi responded swiftly in a statement Wednesday, describing the U.S.' decision to raise tariffs as "unfair, unjustified and unreasonable," and that the country's imports are based on market factors and to ensure energy security for its population. Earlier on Monday, India's Ministry of External Affairs called out what it says is selective enforcement in a statement, adding that "it is revealing that the very nations criticizing India are themselves indulging in trade with Russia." It cited data that showed the EU's trade was "significantly more" than India's total trade with Russia. And it seems that India isn't the only country on U.S. President Donald Trump's radar as he sets to punish countries that buy oil from Russia. His latest executive order also directs his administration to "determine whether any other country is directly or indirectly importing Russian Federation oil," and the actions, if any, that need to be taken on that country. — U.S to impose 50% tariff on India over Russian oil purchases. Trump announced in an executive order Wednesday that the new 25% duties will come into effect in 21 days, while the previously announced 25% rate will kick in Thursday. Semiconductor tariffs of 100%. Unless companies can manufacture in the U.S., Trump said Wednesday that he would impose that tariff rate on imports of semiconductors and chips into the country. U.S. stocks gain on Apple's investment. Markets gained Wednesday after Apple's shares climbed 5% on its increased U.S. manufacturing investment. The European Stoxx 600 was flat, while the Swiss Market Index fell 0.9% as Swiss officials met with their counterparts to continue tariff negotiations. Apple commits $100 billion to U.S. expansion. Apple CEO Tim Cook and President Donald Trump unveiled the manufacturing boost Wednesday. That's on top of the $500 billion that the iPhone maker announced in February, and brings its total U.S. investment to $600 billion over the next four years. [PRO] Chip stocks have been going through a rough ride this earnings season. Texas Instruments, ON Semiconductor, Qualcomm, and Arm posted earnings beats but were met with steep sell-offs as investors demand more than solid execution. Why India is in Trump's crosshairs when crude is not even sanctioned India was once encouraged to buy Russian crude by the United States. It is one of the biggest buyers of Russian oil, according to data from Kpler, which shows total Russian crude exports amount to around 3.35 million barrels per day, of which India takes about 1.7 million. Sara Vakhshouri, the founder and president of SVB Energy International, told CNBC the hefty duties announced by Trump are a "negotiation tactic," aimed at "reclaiming lost U.S. oil market share in India and oil export declines since 2022, and securing equivalent export of other commodity to India." —

White House plans increase in federal law enforcement in DC over crime as Trump threatens to bring in National Guard

The Trump administration is making plans to increase the federal law enforcement presence in Washington, DC, Thursday and Friday following an assault on a well-known former Department of Government Efficiency staffer over the weekend, three sources familiar with the plan told CNN. Officers from ICE, FBI, National Guard, along with local DHS agents will be part of the federal law enforcement presence, one of the sources told CNN. Local federal agents in the area have been told to be ready to be deployed, the source added. A senior White House official said that the move was not solely because of the assault, but a follow up on the president's 'Making the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful' executive order. 'The assault just further underscores the need for a greater law enforcement presence in DC,' the official said. 'Washington, DC is an amazing city, but it has sadly been plagued by petty and violent crime for far too long,' Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to CNN. 'President Trump is committed to making our Nation's capital safer and even more beautiful for its residents, lawmakers, and visitors from all around the world.' Sources said the operational details were still being finalized as of Wednesday night. CNN has reached out to the DC mayor's office for comment. Earlier Wednesday, President Donald Trump said he might deploy the National Guard to DC over recent crime. 'We're going to beautify the city. We're going to make it beautiful. And what a shame, the rate of crime, the rate of muggings, killings and everything else. We're not going to let it, and that includes bringing in the National Guard maybe very quickly too,' Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
