The US had initially imposed 25 per cent reciprocal tariffs on India and Trump last week slapped another 25 per cent levies on Delhi for its purchases of Russian oil, bringing the total duties on India to 50 per cent, among the highest imposed by the US on any country in the world

US President Donald Trump has not yet decided on imposing levies on China for purchasing oil from Russia, as Washington's ties with Beijing "affect many things that have nothing to do with the Russian situation", Vice President J D Vance has said, reported news agency PTI.
"Well, the President said he's thinking about it, but he hasn't made any firm decisions," Vance said on Sunday, reported PTI.
He was responding to a question about Trump imposing significant tariffs on countries like India for buying Russian oil and whether Washington will impose similar levies on China since Beijing also buys Russian oil.
