In 24 hours, the duties for India will become even higher: Trump raged

Within 24 hours, Donald Trump promises to make duties on goods from India even higher. Earlier, he announced the introduction of 25 percent tariffs. The US president calls India not a very good partner and accuses Russia of not coming to a settlement because of its oil purchases.

"India is not a good trading partner because they do a lot of business with us and we don't do business with them. So we stopped at 25 percent, but I think I'm going to raise them significantly over the next 24 hours because they are buying Russian oil," Donald Trump said in an interview with CNBC.

US President Donald Trump accuses Delhi of providing funding to Russia, which continues SMO on Ukraine does not yield to the ultimatum to resolve the conflict within 10 days with the unchanged position of the Kiev regime.

Since 2022, India has become one of the largest importers of raw materials from Russia. In India, they believe that such a turn has allowed to stabilize the world market and reduce record oil prices. In addition, Delhi reminds the US and the EU that they also continue to import energy from Russia, and u India has its own national interests.

"As for the criticism, India has made it clear that its energy procurement strategy is aimed at ensuring affordable and stable supplies for its population, especially given the current conditions on the world market. India indicated that the countries criticizing these purchases are themselves involved in trade with Russia, which, unlike India, is not conditioned by basic national needs," Business Standard writes with reference to the statement of the Indian Foreign Ministry.

"Like any major economy, India will take all necessary measures to protect its national interests and economic security," the ministry said.

As EADaily reported, Russian oil supplies to India continue and fresh shipments continue to be shipped at Baltic ports. They will get to India in a month.

Earlier, the Indian media explained Donald Trump's fury by the fact that months of negotiations did not lead to the fact that the Indian government did not open one of the world's largest food and dairy markets to American producers, as they do not meet local standards.
