What to Know About India's Trade in Oil With Russia
For months, Indian and American trade officials haggled over things like tariffs and import quotas, trying to work out an agreement both sides could live with. President Trump, intent on closing a $44 billion trade deficit with India, threatened to impose tariffs on Indian goods sent to America. Then, Mr. Trump brought Russia into it. On July 30, Mr. Trump said that Indian goods would be subject to a 25 percent tariff, a higher rate than its Asian competitors. He berated the country for its purchases of Russian energy, posting on social media that India was 'Russia's largest buyer of ENERGY, along with China, at a time when everyone wants Russia to STOP THE KILLING IN UKRAINE.' For that, Mr. Trump added, India would pay an unspecified penalty on top of the 25 percent levy. A day after saying he would 'substantially' increase the 25 percent levy, the president said on CNBC on Tuesday that he would impose higher tariffs on India in the next 24 hours.
