US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to raise tariffs on Indian imports to 50%, citing New Delhi’s purchases of Russian oil amid Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has criticised the move as it signals the furthest departure from the stances of previous US governments in the past 25 years.

USSC Director of Research Jared Mondschein spoke with ABC News on the longevity of the new tariff rate.
