The True Post (Web News) US President Donald Trump has threatened to increase tariffs on India if it does not cooperate on the Russian oil issue.
According to a foreign news agency, President Trump has said that Washington is closely reviewing New Delhi’s behavior regarding Russian oil, and if India does not cooperate on this issue, the United States may impose further trade sanctions or tariffs on it. President Trump’s statement has come at a time when trade negotiations between the United States and India are ongoing. According to the US President, the purchase of Russian oil has become a sensitive issue and the United States expects clear cooperation from its allies in this regard.
Earlier, President Trump has claimed that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had assured him that India would stop purchasing Russian oil. However, there has been no official confirmation or denial from India regarding this claim.
According to political observers, the US President’s recent statement is likely to increase tensions in US-India trade relations, especially at a time when there is already a global energy crisis and geopolitical tensions. Experts say that if the US does indeed increase tariffs on India, it could have an impact on bilateral trade and the economic situation in the region. On the other hand, the silence of the Indian government is further complicating the matter, and it is likely that New Delhi will come out with an official position on it in the coming days.
