On Wednesday, Trump had announced his decision to impose an additional 25 per cent tariff on India, raising it to 50 per cent. Earlier, Trump had announced a 25 per cent tariff on Indian products being imported to the US. After the new levy, India will attract the highest tariff of 50 per cent along with Brazil.
Trump signed an executive order – Addressing Threats to the US by the Government of the Russian Federation – imposing the additional tariff over and above the 25 per cent levy which comes into effect from August 7.
The United States has imposed this additional tariff or penalty for Russian imports only on India while other buyers such as China and Turkey have so far escaped such measures. The 30 per cent tariff on China and 15 per cent on Turkey is lower than India’s 50 per cent.
