Trump Doubles Down: The Biggest US Tariff Escalation Against India 

US President Donald Trump has made a bold trade decision against India, imposing an extra 25% tariff. This brings the total duties on Indian goods to a staggering 50%. This drastic measure, announced in an executive order on Wednesday, marks one of the highest tariff rates the US has applied to any trading partner worldwide. 

The new tariffs will take effect on August 27. They specifically target India's ongoing purchases of Russian oil, which Trump claims is "fueling the Russian war machine" in Ukraine. This move puts India in the same category as Brazil for tariff rates, significantly higher than the 30% rate applied to China.
