Trump Imposes 25 Percent Tariff on India Plus Unspecified Penalty
President Donald Trump said on July 30 that the United States will impose a 25 percent tariff on Indian goods beginning Aug. 1, along with additional unspecified penalties, citing the country's high trade barriers and continued reliance on Russian energy and arms. The announcement, made in a Truth Social post, describes India's tariffs as 'among the highest in the world,' with Trump adding that the extra penalties would address New Delhi's military and energy ties to Moscow amid the war in Ukraine.

Trump announces 25 percent tariff on India and unspecified penalties for buying Russian energy
The announcement comes after a slew of negotiated trade frameworks with the European Union, Japan, the Philippines and Indonesia — all of which Trump said would open markets for American goods while enabling the US to raise tax rates on imports. The president views tariff revenues as a way to help offset the budget deficit increases tied to his recent income tax cuts and generate more domestic factory jobs. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up While Trump has effectively wielded tariffs as a cudgel to reset the terms of trade, the economic impact is uncertain as most economists expect a slowdown in US growth and greater inflationary pressures as the costs of the taxes are passed along to domestic businesses and consumers. Advertisement The Census Bureau reported that the US ran a $45.8 trade imbalance in goods with India last year, meaning it imported more than it exported. At a population exceeding 1.4 billion people, India is the world's largest country and a possible geopolitical counterbalance to China. India and Russia have close relations, and New Delhi has not supported Western sanctions on Moscow over its war in Ukraine. Advertisement When Trump in February met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the US president said that India would start buying American oil and natural gas. Trump discussed his policies on trade and tariffs with reporters accompanying him Tuesday on the flight home following a five-day visit to Scotland. He declined to comment then when asked about reports that India was bracing for a US tariff rate of at least 25 percent, saying, 'We're going to see.' Trump also said the outlines of a trade agreement with India had not yet been finalized.

President Trump announces 25% tariff on imports from India
The president's trade move comes before his Aug. 1 deadline for higher reciprocal tariffs on goods from nearly 180 countries across the world. WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump said he plans to impose a 25% tariff on imports from India and levy "a penalty" on the country for buying military equipment and energy from Russia. 'Remember, while India is our friend, we have, over the years, done relatively little business with them because their Tariffs are far too high, among the highest in the World, and they have the most strenuous and obnoxious non-monetary Trade Barriers of any Country,' Trump wrote in a July 30 post on Truth Social. Trump added that India has "always bought a vast majority of their military equipment from Russia, and are Russia's largest buyer of ENERGY, along with China, at a time when everyone wants Russia to STOP THE KILLING IN UKRAINE — ALL THINGS NOT GOOD!" Trump did not elaborate on the penalty. Trump's announcement comes before his Aug 1. deadline for higher reciprocal tariffs on goods from nearly 180 countries across the world to go into effect, including the president's 25% tariff on Indian imports.
