US President Donald Trump on Wednesday, on July 30, on his page on social networks, Truth Social stated that the United States has introduced a retail tax of 25 % of goods from India since August this year.
According to the head of state, Delhi, along with Beijing, is still one of the largest energy buyers from Moscow. In addition, India, as the US president noted, bought a large number of military equipment from Russia.
– Everyone wants Russia to prevent the murder in Ukraine – all of this is not good! Therefore, India will pay 25 % tax plus the fine for the above, starting from August 1, Mr. Trump wrote.
The head of the US Department of Finance Scott Immentine said that if the US introduces trading tasks with an amount of 100 % compared to oil importers from Russia, European countries should take similar measures. Senator Lindsay Graham* simultaneously said that the US President plans to introduce tariffs to countries that buy oil from Russia. That is, according to him, about China, about India and Brazil.
