US President Donald Trump has once again threatened to increase the tariff to India on Monday (4 August 2025). Trump has accused India of buying oil from Russia in large quantities and selling it for huge profits. He said that India not only buy oil from Russia, but also makes a big profit by selling it in the open market.

Trump said, “India does not care about how many people are killing Russia’s war machine in Ukraine. That is why I am going to increase the fees paid to America from India.”
Trump imposed 25% tariff on India before the deadline
