Russian energy products entering the US market have been subjected to increasing tariffs since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine War. In light of these events, the Trump administration has imposed levies on India for purchasing Russian energy products, according to a 251-page appeal submitted to the US Supreme Court on Wednesday (September 3, 2025).

The document states that the President authorized the application of tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The appeal also mentions the argument that India's ongoing high levels of commerce and trade with Russia, which violates the universal sanctions imposed on Moscow, invalidate its defense that it is exempt from US sanctions as a developing country.

The appeal has the potential to affect India's increasing role in the global economy and its ongoing development. The Biden administration is yet to make a comment on the subject.

The Trump administration's daring move to impose tariffs on India for purchasing Russian energy products signals a shifting landscape in international trade. Such decisions will inadvertently impact the global economy and geopolitical relationships in the years to come.
