Trump cited "national emergency" and "India Russia oil trade" as the reasons behind his latest move. In my judgement, I determine it necessary to impose an ad valorem duty on imports of articles from India", Trump wrote in the Executive Order signed earlier today. The U.S. tariff against India announced by Trump today makes it 20 % more than China and 31% more than Pakistan. The Trump tariffs against India is considered a major setback as the country has trade surplus with the United States. India had earlier called Trump's decision to impose additional tariffs and objection on its trade with Russia "unjustified and unreasonable".
