Donald Trump imposed 50% tariffs on most US imports from India, making good on a threat to punish one of the world’s largest economies over its purchases of discounted Russian oil.
The tariffs, which came into effect just after midnight on Wednesday in Washington, risk inflicting significant damage on the Indian economy and further disrupting global supply chains.
US tariffs of 25% on Indian goods went into force earlier this month, but Trump announced plans to double the rate, citing New Delhi’s purchases of Russian oil, which the White House has argued is indirectly funding Russia’s war against Ukraine.
Sure, but Biden did it through official channels and in the standard USA way of diplomatic blackmail with a fake carrot and the threat of a lot of stick.
This dumb motherfucker gives you stick and a promise not to give you even more stick, then tells everyone you’re such a huge cuck you’re probably gonna take more stick later anyway. One is obviously gonna drive all but the most whipped of whipped dogs (the EU) away.
