The US and India are having serious trade problems. President Trump put a 25% tax on Indian products. Another 25% tax will start on August 27 because India buys oil from Russia.
This makes a total of 50% tax, which is very high. India thinks this is unfair because the US and Europe also trade with Russia. A US trade team was supposed to visit India but they canceled the trip.
The US is India's most important trade partner. About 20% of India's exports go to America, worth $86.51 billion. These new taxes could hurt this important relationship.
