WASHINGTON ¨C U.S. President Donald Trump again threatened on Monday to raise tariffs on goods from India over its Russian oil purchases, while New Delhi called his attack ¡°unjustified¡± and vowed to protect its economic interests, deepening the trade rift between the two countries.
In a social media post, Trump wrote, ¡°India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits. They don¡¯t care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine.¡±
¡°Because of this, I will be substantially raising the Tariff paid by India to the USA,¡± he added.
