Trump’s India Tariffs Under Fire: Critics Say They Won’t Change Putin’s Course

President Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on India has been met with significant criticism, particularly from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The committee members suggest that the tariffs, ostensibly linked to India’s trade with Russia, are unlikely to alter the behavior of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. They argue that the administration should focus on punishing Putin and providing military aid to Ukraine. These comments come as the Russia-Ukraine war continues, with international efforts focused on finding a resolution. The meeting between Trump and Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, is significant, and the world is watching to see if any breakthroughs are possible. India has called the tariffs unfair, as the tariffs were raised from 25% to 50%.
