America escalated its row with India over purchasing Russian oil, which Donald Trump says is “fuelling the war” in Ukraine. The president will impose an extra 25% tariff on Indian goods on August 27th as a punishment, taking the overall levy to 50% on certain Indian imports (he is also using the threat to press for a trade deal). The Indian government said it was being unfairly singled out, pointing to the EU’s still-substantial trade with Russia. The Kremlin said it was up to individual countries to choose their trading partners.
