Donald Trump's decision to impose a 50% tariff on India for Russian oil imports created tension with India, but the president insists it will all work out eventually.

Breaking down his rationale he stated that Europe should serve as the mediator between the two nations, as they will be hit the hardest with this decision. This statement comes after the US and India have been enjoying a close relationship for some time now. Recently they has seen a rise in negotiations around a trade deal hoping to open up opportunities for many.

However, this most recent action on the part of Trump is not the first time a rift has been created between the two nations. In 2020, Trump enacted tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from India, stating they were harming US industry. These exports have negatively impacted the US economy and as such, the move was an effort to protect the country's national interests.

Despite these conflicts, Trump remains optimistic about the potential for trade talks, and believes his efforts to resolve conflicts are what's best for both countries in the long run. He maintains that this recent decision will spark a resolution to an issue, ultimately helping them work together in the future.
