The United States’ House Foreign Affairs Committee has voiced concerns over President Trump’s imposition of tariffs on India, arguing the measure is unlikely to influence Russian President Vladimir Putin. The committee’s dissent comes amidst ongoing international efforts to address the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which has been ongoing for over three years. The committee directly challenged the administration’s strategy, claiming that the tariffs, prompted by India’s purchase of Russian oil, are ineffective in curbing Putin’s actions in Ukraine. The committee implied that more direct measures, such as punitive actions against Putin and increased military support for Ukraine, would be more effective. The tariffs, which increased from 25% to 50%, have been met with disapproval from India.
