The tariffs will "increase prices for everything that's imported, and that includes food."

Trump tariffs would "raise prices even more for consumers."

"I am extremely confident that food will get more expensive."

Trump's tariffs would "increase the cost of US manufacturing."

"Trump is about to make every American pay even more for coffee."

"Tariffs would disrupt supply chains and increase production costs."

Trump further wrote that the U.S. has "A MASSIVE TRADE DEFICIT WITH INDIA!!!" in reference to the U.S. being a net importer in its trade with that country. Last year, the U.S. exported goods worth $41.8 billion to India and imported $87.4 billion, according to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative.

This comes as Trump said on Tuesday that he was considering a 20% to 25% tariff on India, as Reuters had reported. While the 25% tariff is slightly lower than the reciprocal duties announced in April, it's higher than recent U.S. deals with other countries and the average tariff rate that U.S. goods face in India.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also said on Tuesday that countries purchasing Russian oil could face massive tariffs. India is the second-largest buyer of Russian oil, and the share of crude oil imports from Russia in its energy portfolio jumped from 0.2% to up to 40% since the war in Ukraine began.

If India wants a good trade deal with the U.S., New Delhi must realize that its two-faced position on several issues will not be helpful. It's hard to understand how the country with the highest average tariff rate among major economies enters trade talks with no sincere intention to open up its markets to its largest trading partner, and it's unacceptable that India continues to fuel Russia's war effort despite U.S. sanctions.

China, India fuel Russia war machine by ignoring international sanctions: report

Pro-establishment narrative

This tariff-plus-penalty announcement reflects the arrogance, double standards and shortsightedness of the U.S. and the West in general. Anti-Russia lobbies have failed to persuade India not to buy oil from Russia, so they are now trying to punish India for securing the legitimate energy needs of its own people while Europe is allowed to buy oil and gas from Russia. This is a failed strategy that will push a key ally toward China.
