President Donald Trump has doubled tariffs on Indian imports to 50%, escalating trade tensions with one of America’s key partners, CNN reported. The move follows a new 25% baseline tariff introduced weeks earlier, making India’s levies among the highest imposed by the United States. Trump cited India’s purchase of Russian oil as justification. New Delhi signalled retaliation, stressing energy security and resilience. Analysts warn the tariffs could push up US consumer prices and strain bilateral relations.
