United States President Donald Trump said that Washington could increase its existing tariffs on Indian imports if New Delhi didn't help with the “Russian oil issue”, news agency Reuters quoted the President as saying on Monday. The Trump administration last year hiked tariffs on Indian goods to 50%, citing New Delhi’s large-scale purchase of Russian oil."We could raise tariffs on India if they don't help on the Russian oil issue,” the President was quoted as saying. Trump, while interacting with the media, claimed that India has substantially reduced its oil purchases from Russia.
