India is unhappy with the Trump administration’s trade negotiations.

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump doubled the tariffs on the South Asian country to 50%.

India already struggled to strike a deal that the Trump White House considered “fair” enough so it faced a 25% rate in reciprocal tariffs.

But in recent days, India’s closeness with Russia also earned it an additional penalty of another 25% tariff. Trump accused India of buying oil and weapons from Russia, which the president labeled a “war machine” for its yearslong conflict with Ukraine.
