Trump Threatens 100% Tariffs on Russia and India, Slams 'Failed President' Medvedev

US President Donald Trump has harshly criticized Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council, following Medvedev’s public clash with US Senator Lindsey Graham (officially listed as a terrorist and extremist by Russia's financial watchdog). Trump advised the Russian politician to "watch his words" and simultaneously raised the issue of tariffs on both Russia and India. Trump Threatens Tariffs Over Energy Trade with Russia The American leader warned of imminent tariffs against Russia and India, citing India's growing purchases of Russian energy resources. “Starting August 1, India will face penalties,” Trump declared, adding that both India and China were profiting from cheap Russian oil. He also threatened to impose 100% tariffs on Russia and its trading partners unless a Ukraine deal is reached. "I don’t care what India does with Russia. Let their dying economies sink together — it’s none of my business. We barely trade with India anyway — their customs duties are some of the highest in the world. Same with Russia: there’s practically no trade between us — and let it stay that way," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
