The White House announced on Wednesday a new 25% tariff on Indian imports, doubling total U.S. levies on India to 50%, citing India’s continued imports of Russian oil. “I find that the Government of India is currently directly or indirectly importing Russian Federation oil,” President Trump said in an executive order. The new tariffs will take effect in 21 days, while the initial 25% tariff begins Thursday. This move makes India one of the most heavily tariffed U.S. trading partners and signals Trump’s commitment to punishing nations that buy Russian oil amid the ongoing Ukraine war. Secondary sanctions on other countries buying Russian oil are also expected Friday. India called the tariffs “extremely unfortunate,” noting that many countries are acting similarly in their national interest.
