A new Russia sanctions bill may lead the US to impose a 100% tariff on Indian goods, according to The Indian Express.
The Indian Express reports that the United States has introduced a new sanctions bill targeting Russia, which could have significant implications for trade with India.
The bill would impose comprehensive restrictions on Russian entities, and analysts warn that the US might retaliate by raising tariffs on imports from countries that maintain ties with Russia.
India, a major exporter of pharmaceuticals and textiles, could see its goods hit by a 100% tariff if the US follows through, potentially affecting the economy.
Officials in Washington and New Delhi are monitoring the situation closely, with trade officials urging caution and seeking diplomatic solutions.
