President Donald Trump’s trade policies are starting to intersect directly with the War in Ukraine. This week, Trump announced that Indian imports would be hit with a massive 50 per cent tariff – up from the expected 25 per cent. He accused India of “fuelling the war machine” after the country imported Russian Federation Oil. This all comes as Trump’s threats to Vladimir Putin – who he sees as stifling peace efforts and approaching negotiations in bad faith – have been cranked up a notch. Putin has been given until Friday, 8th August, to agree a ceasefire with Ukraine, with the threat that Trump will impose sweeping secondary tariffs if he doesn’t.
