US President Donald Trump imposed 25% tariffs on India, accusing it of indulging in anti-American activities. Trump also imposed a penalty on India for buying Russian crude oil and military equipment despite the sanctions. The US President is coming down hard on BRICS, especially India, accusing them of advancing de-dollarization by putting the rupee ahead for trade and transactions.
