Trump Hints at Pausing India Trade Talks Over Russian Oil
New Delhi, August 8 – U.S. President Donald Trump has signaled a possible pause in trade negotiations with India until New Delhi halts Russian oil imports. Speaking at the White House, Trump linked the delay to his demand for India to stop such purchases amid the Ukraine war. This follows his recent move to double tariffs on Indian goods to 50%. U.S. negotiators are scheduled to visit India on August 25 for the next round of bilateral trade talks.
