Trump Threatens Higher Tariffs on India Over Russian Oil Purchases

On August 4, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to significantly increase tariffs on goods imported from India.

Trump’s decision was prompted by India’s ongoing purchase of Russian oil, which is a crucial source of revenue for Moscow’s war in Ukraine. In a post on Truth Social, Trump criticised India for buying “massive amounts of Russian oil” and profiting from it, stating, “They don’t care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian war machine.”

The announcement from the US President followed a warning of new sanctions on Russia if it does not make progress toward a peace deal in Ukraine by August 8.

Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy, is scheduled to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin this week to discuss potential peace talks, more than three years after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Additionally, there is a proposed increase in tariffs, raising the current 10% tariff on Indian products to 25% by August 7. This move aims to apply pressure on India due to its economic ties with Russia.

Trump indicated a substantial increase in tariffs but did not specify the new rates or the goods that would be affected. This announcement has raised concerns about U.S.-India trade relations and its potential impact on global markets, especially considering India’s importance as a major trading partner.
