U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday issued a renewed tariff warning to India, saying Washington could raise duties on New Delhi if it does not reduce purchases of Russian oil. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday, Trump tied the warning to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and remarked that keeping him pleased was important. He described Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a good man who understood his dissatisfaction.
According to the Times of India, Trump reiterated that India’s continued trade with Russia could prompt the United States to impose higher tariffs soon. Last year, Washington had already raised import duties on Indian goods by 50 percent as a penalty for large-scale Russian oil purchases, though Indian exports to the U.S. still increased in November. Reuters sources reported that India has asked refineries to disclose weekly oil purchase data from Russia and the U.S. as part of trade deal efforts, potentially reducing Russian crude imports below one million barrels per day.
The report also noted that Senator Lindsey Graham is leading co-sponsors of a sanctions bill that would mandate tariffs up to 500 percent on countries continuing to buy Russian oil or uranium.
