Trump announces tariff cut to 18% after Modi’s pledge on Russian oil

US President Donald Trump has announced a sharp cut in tariffs on Indian imports to 18%, easing months of trade tension after duties had climbed as high as 50%. The move follows Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s reported agreement to halt purchases of Russian oil, signalling a potential realignment in India’s energy strategy. Trump framed the decision as part of a broader reset in US–India trade relations, highlighting prospects for increased Indian purchases of US energy and other goods. While Modi welcomed the tariff relief publicly, Indian officials have yet to confirm the full scope of commitments on Russian oil and future imports, leaving key details still unfolding. #IndiaUSRelations #TradeTariffs #DonaldTrump #NarendraModi #USIndiaTrade #GlobalTrade #EnergyPolitics #RussianOil #Geopolitics #TradeDeal #EmergingMarkets #IndianEconomy #USTariffs #GlobalMarkets #EnergySecurity #ForeignPolicy #TradeReset #WorldPolitics #EconomicDiplomacy #KalkineMedia World News with in-depth analysis – trusted & transparent!
