Trump warns of more tariffs if India does not make him happy
President Donald Trump stated that India is meeting his demands by reducing Russian oil purchases, warning of higher tariffs if they fail to comply. Senator Lindsay Graham, a proponent of the Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025, claims India's reduced oil imports are due to pressure from the US and its tariffs. The act authorizes the President to impose secondary tariffs up to 500%, giving him significant leverage in negotiations with countries like India and China. The bill is designed to force a resolution to the Russia-Ukraine war by targeting Russian economic lifelines, but the future of the current tariffs on India remains unclear.
