500% Tariff Threat on India: Should Delhi Be Worried After Trump’s Approval?

US President Donald Trump has supported a sanctions bill that could impose a 500% tariff on Indian exports if India continues to import Russian oil, which constitutes about 40% of its oil imports. This bill is viewed as a means to penalize nations that indirectly fund Russia's war efforts through energy purchases, escalating from the previous 50% tariffs on select Indian goods.
