Congressman Sherman: Trump Seeks 'Outrageous Tariffs' on India Over Russian Oil

• US Congressman Brad Sherman claims Donald Trump is seeking excuses to impose 'outrageous tariffs' on India.
• Sherman questioned why India is being singled out for importing Russian crude, despite its smaller share compared to Hungary or China.
• He highlighted that India imports only 21% of its crude from Russia, urging a policy reversal.
• Russia's foreign ministry rejected claims of India cutting back on Russian oil purchases, stating it benefits both nations.
• The statement follows a recent reduction of US tariffs on Indian goods to 18% from 50%, including the removal of a 25% tariff related to Russian oil purchases.
