Trump’s India Tariffs Deadline Today LIVE Updates: The deadline for the additional 25% tariffs to be imposed on Indian goods by the United States will end tonight and from August 27, Indian imports in America will be levied with a 50% tariff rate. President Donald Trump-led administration has termed India’s continued purchase of Russian oil a “national security concern” and Vice President JD Vance recently told NBC News that President Trump had applied “aggressive economic leverage”, including “secondary tariffs on India” to “make it harder for the Russians to get rich from their oil economy”.
US Notice to India: The US Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday notified India about the plans to increase tariffs to 50% on Indian goods, signalling that the White House plans to push ahead with the higher tariffs after talks to broker a ceasefire deal between Russia and Ukraine appeared to be stalled. The notice said Indian goods that entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 AM eastern daylight time on August 27, 2025 would attract heightened levies.
