tariffs

The Department of Posts on Sunday announced a complete suspension of all mails to the USA over president Donald Trump’s tariff policy

India has saved over $17 billion since 2022 by purchasing cheaper Russian crude. More importantly, its imports have played a stabilising role in the global market.

There are no sanctions on Russian oil by the United States, G7 countries and the European Union (EU), unlike Iranian oil and Venezuelan oil. India thus did not violate any international norms through its purchase of Russian oil, as it adhered to the price cap imposition.

Trump's approval rating, which is an indicator of how Americans view his performance, hit a record low in his second term, highlighting the dissatisfaction of American with his policies.

PM Modi has chosen silence over spectacle, sidestepping Trump’s repeated requests for calls that might be spun into self-serving boasts.

Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit India in December amid rising U.S. pressure. As Trump doubles tariffs on Indian goods over Russian oil imports, New Delhi has defended its energy security, strengthening ties with Moscow despite Western criticism and sanctions threats.

The punitive tariffs levied by the US on India are likely to remain unaffected even if the IEEPA-based tariffs are rolled back after court's decision.

The committee questioned the US administration's intent behind tariffs against India, remarking, "It's almost like it's not about Ukraine at all."

Countries, including Japan, Australia, Taiwan, and India, have suspended parcel shipments to the US after President Trump scrapped the “de minimis” rule, which allowed goods under $800 duty-free entry.

The Donald Trump tariffs will apply to any items arriving for use in the United States from India or released from warehouses after 27th August.
