President Trump declared that the U.S. will not engage in trade negotiations with India until the existing tariff dispute is resolved. This decision follows the U.S. imposing a 50% tariff on Indian exports,

In an executive order, Trump says "I find that the Government of India is currently directly or indirectly importing Russian Federation oil" and due to those purchases, imports of Indian goods into the United States "shall be subject to an additional ... rate of duty of 25%."
