America will not impose 100 percent tariff on Indian products even if it buys Russian oil. President Donald Trump's big announcement has turned 180 degrees from his decision. He announced that most of the sanctions and tariffs he had decided to impose on Russian oil purchases were being suspended. Trump claims that this decision has been taken in the interest of America.
US President Donald Trump expressed anger at several countries, including India, for buying oil and gas from Russia. The US president even imposed 100 percent tariffs on India for not stopping buying Russian oil. That tariff is supposed to come into effect from Sunday. Just before that, the US President completely turned from his position. Donald Trump announced several sanctions, tightening and tariff waivers related to Russia. India is getting a big relief from tariff concerns as a result of America's decision. But not only India, China is also getting the same relief.
It is known that Trump signed a bill named 'Lindsey and Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026' last month. The bill would have paved the way for the US to impose tariffs of up to 100 percent on countries that buy oil and gas from Russia. Which was of concern to India and China. But late Friday night, the US president issued an executive order announcing, “I am rescinding the prohibitions, restrictions and tariffs set forth in the Graham Act.” Trump claims that this decision is in the interest of America. It is in the national interest of the United States to grant such concessions at this time.
As a result of Trump's signing of the directive, 100 percent tariffs on India and China are effective, but in reality, the export of Indian products to the United States will not have to pay those huge tariffs. But India's relief is temporary. Trump can re-enact the ban at any time later. The reason behind this decision of Trump is the improvement of relations between America and Russia. In fact, the US president himself has completed the oil deal with Russia. Under these circumstances, it would be unseemly to impose additional tariffs on India and China to trade with Russia.
