<h1>US Imposes 25% Tariffs on Indian Imports Over Russia Oil Purchases and Trade Barriers</h1> The US President announced plans to significantly increase tariffs on imports from India, citing India's purchase and resale of large quantities of Russian oil amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The move follows an executive order imposing a 25 percent tariff on Indian goods, justified by the US trade deficit with India and India's high tariffs and non-monetary trade barriers. The US criticized India for maintaining close economic ties with Russia, including military equipment purchases and energy imports, which the US views as undermining international efforts to pressure Russia over the war in Ukraine. India responded by emphasizing its status as a rapidly growing major economy.
