US Threatens 500% Tariffs on India

US Threatens 500% Tariffs on India

The US is thinking about putting a very high tax (500%) on things India sells to them.

This is because India buys oil from Russia, which the US doesn't like.

The US Ambassador is in India to talk about this.

If this happens, it could make things more expensive in India and make it harder for India to buy oil.

India is also worried about problems in Iran, which is important for trade with other countries.

India is trying to find a way to keep good relations with both the US and Russia.
