India Pays 50%, EU Pays Nothing — Is This US Trade Hypocrisy?
U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of a 25% tariff hike on Indian goods has drawn swift diplomatic backlash from New Delhi and renewed scrutiny over the West’s stance on Russian energy sanctions. Trump has now signed an executive order imposing an even steeper 50% tariff on Indian imports, citing India’s continued purchases of Russian oil. This move places India at the top of the U.S. tariff list, tied with Brazil at 50%. Other heavily affected countries include Switzerland at 39%, Canada and Iraq at 35%, and China at 30%, highlighting a sharp escalation in U.S. trade pressure.

Amid escalating U.S. tariff threats against India over its Russian oil imports, President Donald Trump claimed ignorance of Washington’s own ongoing trade with Moscow, particularly in uranium and fertilisers—a point New Delhi has used to defend its position. Responding to India’s accusation of being unfairly singled out, Trump said, “I don’t know anything about it. I have to check it out.” He also signalled the possibility of increasing tariffs on other nations maintaining trade ties with Russia but offered no specific figures. The remarks have intensified debate over the consistency of U.S. sanctions and trade policies.
