India and China pushed back against the White House’s threats to impose secondary tariffs on countries buying Russian oil. New Delhi and Beijing are among the biggest importers of energy from Moscow. US President Donald Trump has promised 100% duties on imports from any country that buys oil from Russia.

To help exports, it suggested the government to revive the interest equalisation scheme, create a helpdesk, use trade agreements strategically, and onboard new exporters.

President Donald Trump says the United States and India are still negotiating on trade despite new tariffs slated to begin in a few days.
