On August 4 local time, US President Trump posted on his social media "Real Social" that India not only purchased large quantities of Russian oil, but also sold most of it on the open market to make huge profits.Therefore, he will significantly increase the tariffs India pays to the United States.
Trump threatened India on a "real social" platform last month: If India continues to buy Russian weapons and oil, the United States will impose additional punitive tariffs on Indian goods on 25% import tariffs.On the 1st of this month, Trump told media reporters that he believed India intends to stop buying Russian oil.
Previously, on July 30, local time, Trump announced through social media that he would impose a 25% tariff on Indian goods imported to the United States from August 1 and impose other "punishments".
Trump posted a complaint that India's tariff rates were too high and that non-tariff barriers were "heavy and annoying" than any other country, resulting in the US-India trade remaining a small scale for many years.He then posted: "We have a huge trade deficit with India."
According to CCTV International News, regarding the threat of US President Trump to significantly increase tariffs on India, and the United States and Europe accusing India of importing and even reselling Russian oil after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman Randir Jaiswar issued a statement on the evening of August 4 local time, saying: "The accusations against India are obviously unfair. India will take all necessary measures to safeguard national interests and economic security, just like all major economies."
The statement said that India's turn to purchase Russian oil is "a passive choice" - after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, traditional supply sources were transferred to Europe, and the United States clearly supported India's move to stabilize the global energy market at that time.
