The United States imposed tariffs up to 50 percent on Indian goods and criticised India for buying Russian oil and weapons. President Trump described the economic relationship as very one-sided, saying India sells massive amounts of goods to the US while the US sells little to India. Trump said India had offered to cut tariffs on US goods to zero and urged them to do so sooner. Trump has pressed foreign leaders to buy more US products in areas such as energy and weapons. India primarily sources oil and military equipment from Russia and has pushed back against the US tariffs.
United States President Donald Trump has criticised his country's relationship with India as very one-sided and stated that New Delhi had offered to reduce tariffs on US goods to zero. Trump castigated New Delhi for what he depicted as a slanted economic relationship and India's purchases of Russian weapons and oil in a social media post on Monday, marking a further deterioration of ties between the two countries. What few people understand is that we do very little business with India, but they do a tremendous amount of business with us.
In other words, they sell us massive amounts of goods, their biggest client,' but we sell them very little, Trump said in a post on Truth Social. They have now offered to cut their Tariffs to nothing, but it's getting late. They should have done so years ago, he added. New Delhi has yet to comment on Trump's most recent remarks.
The US recently imposed tariffs as high as 50 percent on goods from India among the highest announced by the Trump administration on scores of foreign nations and criticised India for its purchase of Russian oil. Trump's tariff push has often been accompanied by exhortations to foreign leaders to buy more US products in areas such as energy and weapons manufacturing. India buys most of its oil and military products from Russia, very little from the US, he said on Monday.
