<h1>US warns trading partners to open markets and stop harmful tariffs, pushes deal aiming for $500B trade by 2030</h1> A senior US commerce official said the United States will pressure countries such as Brazil and India to open markets and stop policies it views as harming US interests, citing tariffs-including a 50% tariff on one country and a 25% tariff on its purchases of Russian oil-imposed amid a trade row. The official warned exporters must 'play ball' with US policy while noting unresolved issues with other trading partners. Despite tensions, bilateral trade between the US and India remained strong in 2024-25, and negotiations toward a bilateral trade agreement aim to boost commerce toward a $500 billion target by 2030.
