#Firstpost Trump Says 50% Tariff Caused a Rift With India | N18G

US President Donald Trump admitted on September 12 that his 50% tariff on India over Russian oil purchases strained ties between the two nations. “India was Russia’s biggest customer. I put a 50% tariff on India because they’re buying oil from Russia. That’s not an easy thing to do,” Trump said in an interview, adding, “That’s a big deal. And it causes a rift with India.” The comments come amid ongoing US-India trade talks, highlighting how past tariff moves continue to cast a shadow over bilateral relations and the $190 billion-a-year trade partnership.
