India - US Tariff and Relations | News + Updates

Modi literally said "Du Lund" and he got it.

Modi may get even more.

You haven't answered any of my questions. This isn't some ordinary dispute. The US accuses India:

1. Buying Russian oil and selling it for handsome profit.
2. Fuelling Ukrainian war.
3. Providing components for Shahed drones which are used to kill Ukrainians.
4. Scamming the immigration system i.e. H1B.

How will Modi address these concerns?

I would be glad if Russia placed an order for a few hundred BrahMos missiles from India.

That would be great ...it will light the pyres for Modi and India.

Bro, I want to express our strong support for your thoughts and ideas. Your recent comments have been remarkably intelligent. Please continue your relationship with Russia, and rest assured, we will stand behind you.

As a token of appreciation:


Depicted is a young cute Russian bear that also endorses your comments in support of Russia.

I will confess I am quite surprised Trump has moved the tariff to 50%.

I guess, this makes a change from the historical norm!

So, lets all now get a big bag of popcorn and lets see how this show all plays out. The ending will be intriguing for sure.

And then use them in Ukraine. Excellent Idea, I openly recommend for this to take place.

I got news. Trump will up the ante. If Modi doesn't fall in line, Trump will increase the pain.

Here comes the tasty part. Modi and India have chosen the confrontational path. India will look incredibly feeble if it chooses to soften its stance. This is a thriller on steroids. As the Indians like to say, not a ODI or T20, but a test match.

You Indians are more dumb then I thought.

The fact that you are calling an entire nation dumb, shows how smart you are.

Trump putting 25% more tariffs on India!

Trump to put additional 25% import taxes on India, bringing combined tariffs to 50%

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday to place an additional 25% tariff on India for its purchases of Russian oil, bringing the combined tariffs imposed by the United States on its ally to 50%. The tariffs would go into effect 21 days after the signing of the order, meaning...

I dont have interaction with entire 1 billion plus of you, this is based on the interaction we Pakistanis have with you lot. Its called sampling. I heard one of your retire judge hold the same view about you people.

A lot of folks are either rejoicing or trying to say - India go ahead, don’t bow to any pressure. Both seem to be baiting India as if their views would be considered in this aspect.

Both are assuming that India would commit a harakiri.

They have no idea that unlike their nation where one Munir controls their economy, military, foreign policy, space, water and many more, India has level heads who are experts in just one field.
These level heads have enough expertise to find a way out of this situation.
How? Would know very soon.

You did this to yourself. Don't point fingers at others and don't make assumptions.

Of course it is our battle and we will fight it. Meanwhile, statement issued by MEA.

ADDRESSING THREATS TO THE UNITED STATES BY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION​

To deal with the national emergency described in Executive Order 14066, I determine that it is necessary and appropriate to impose an additional ad valorem duty on imports of articles of India, which is directly or indirectly importing Russian Federation oil. In my judgment, imposing tariffs, as described below, in addition to maintaining the other measures taken to address the national emergency described in Executive Order 14066, will more effectively deal with the national emergency described in Executive Order 14066.

Sec. 2. Imposition of Tariffs. (a) I find that the Government of India is currently directly or indirectly importing Russian Federation oil.

(b) Accordingly, and as consistent with applicable law, articles of India imported into the customs territory of the United States shall be subject to an additional ad valorem rate of duty of 25 percent. Subject to section 3 of this order, this rate of duty shall be effective with respect to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time 21 days after the date of this order, except for goods that (1) were loaded onto a vessel at the port of loading and in transit on the final mode of transit prior to entry into the United States before 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time 21 days after the date of this order; and (2) are entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, before 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on September 17, 2025.

Sec. 3. Scope of Duties and Stacking. (a) The ad valorem duty imposed in section 2 of this order shall be in addition to any other duties, fees, taxes, exactions, and charges applicable to such imports, unless subject to existing or future actions under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, in which case the ad valorem duty imposed in this order shall not apply.

The reason India is entertaining negotiators is because India wants off ramp. not bowing down is for equal powers like China, slapping reciprocal tariffs.
