US to punish India with 50% tariffs as punishment for buying Russian oil

US President Donald Trump has vowed 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%. India has called the additional tariffs ‘unfortunate’. Trump’s Wednesday announcement came as India and the US are still negotiating a trade deal that has faced roadblocks after it was first announced when Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Trump in Washington earlier this year.
