100% tariffs on India? US House advances Russia sanctions bill; final vote tomorrow
In a significant legislative move, the US House has supported a bill enabling President Trump to enact tariffs. This action could affect substantial Russian oil and gas importers, notably India, as it aims to prolong sanctions against Russia and Iran. Consequently, Indian exports to the United States might be subjected to steep tariffs as high as 100 percent. An important vote on this matter is forthcoming in the House.
