Trump Plans Tariff Cut on Indian Goods After India Halts Russian Oil Purchases
Former US President Donald Trump said tariffs on Indian goods could be reduced to around 18% as part of a new trade understanding between the United States and India. The statement came after reports that India agreed to reduce or stop purchasing Russian oil, signaling a potential shift in its energy and geopolitical strategy. Trump indicated that the tariff reduction would help strengthen economic cooperation and improve bilateral trade relations. The move could ease tensions that previously arose over high tariffs and market access issues. Analysts say the development reflects a broader alignment between the two countries on trade and global strategic interests.
