US President Donald Trump has proposed a significant 25% tariff on goods from India, escalating trade tensions over New Delhi's crude oil and military purchases from Russia.
The executive order, although outlining the tariff implementation on August 7, remains vague on the penalty specifics.
Trump's strategy appears aimed at pressuring India, leveraging recent gains from trade agreements with major allies like Japan, the UK, and the EU.
