India criticises Trump’s 25% import tariffs as unfair and vows to protect national interest amid pressure over Russian oil imports.

Donald Trump said that he will raise tariffs on India again within 24 hours. This comes after he announced a 25 per cent tariff from August 7.

Russia has condemned the Trump tariff threat to India. It called the US pressure 'illegal' and an attack on sovereign trade rights.

India on Monday strongly rejected US President Donald Trump’s threat to impose heavy tariffs over its purchase of Russian oil, calling the targeting 'unjustified and unreasonable'.

US President Donald Trump on Monday issued a fresh warning to India, saying he would 'substantially raise' the tariff imposed on the country.
