India has also come under Trump’s fire as a member of intergovernmental grouping BRICS, which is led by U.S.-sanctioned countries Russia, China and Iran, as well as Brazil and South Africa. Trump threatened an additional 10% tariff on BRICS members, which he said were aligning themselves against the U.S.

President Donald Trump said he will “substantially” raise tariffs on India because it’s still buying Russian oil.

The Kremlin denounced President Trump’s tariff threat against India over its Russian oil imports, calling it “illegitimate” interference.
