"Path To Take Them Off": Trump Aide Hints At Removing 25% Tariffs On India

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has indicated that the Trump administration may consider rolling back a portion of the 50% tariffs on Indian imports, specifically the 25% related to India's purchases of Russian oil. This potential rollback comes after a significant decline in Indian refinery purchases of Russian crude, which was a primary reason for the imposition of the tariffs.
