U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to impose an additional 25% tariff on Indian imports could significantly disrupt Indian exports to the U.S., warned former U.S. trade official Wendy Cutler. The escalation stems from India's ongoing purchase of Russian oil, which Trump criticizes as supporting Russia's actions in Ukraine. Cutler urged U.S. and Indian officials to resolve their disagreements privately to avert further deterioration in bilateral relations amidst this trade dispute.
