In the current era, India is the largest business partner of America. But Trump is constantly pressurizing India over the tariff. A total of 50 percent tariffs have been announced on India. In which 25 percent has been applied as penalty. Trump says why India trade from Russia, especially Trump is targeting India for purchasing oil and weapons.
