The United States’ 50 per cent tariff measure on Indian goods has officially taken effect as of today. This includes a second 25 per cent duty added to the earlier 25 per cent hike notified earlier this month. The US Department of Homeland Security has confirmed that the higher rate will apply to any Indian goods “entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption" on or after this time. The move is the culmination of US President Donald Trump’s ongoing tariff campaign targeting countries that maintain economic ties with Russia, with India being a key buyer of Russian crude. The hike has drawn strong condemnation from New Delhi, while Moscow has backed India’s right to choose its own trade partners. #trump #india #tariffs #russianoil #modi #news18 News18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube
