U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a significant escalation in tariffs on Indian goods, increasing levies to 50% as part of a broader trade dispute. This decision, which augments the existing 25% tariff, targets India’s economic ties with Russia. The move has been met with strong condemnation from the Indian government, which has labeled the additional charges as ‘unfair, unjustified, and unreasonable’. The dispute highlights the complex geopolitical tensions between major global powers, raising questions about the future of international trade relations.
