Trump Plans to Raise Tariffs on India over Russian Oil
Former US President Donald Trump is threatening to charge India extra taxes on its products because India buys oil from Russia.
He says that India is supporting the war by doing this, and that they are not good trading partners because their taxes are too high.
India says this is unfair because the US also trades with Russia and they need the oil.
They are promising to take measures to protect their economy.
Trump is planning to raise tariffs on Indian imports due to India's purchase of Russian oil.
Trump cited India's high tariffs and trade practices as further reasons for the increase.
India's Ministry of External Affairs criticized the US, citing their own trade with Russia as a double standard.
India stated it will take necessary measures to safeguard national and economic interests.
Trump previously imposed a 25% tariff on Indian goods on August 1st.
