25% US tariff will now be applicable from August 7
US President Donald Trump's order to impose a 25 percent tariff on imports from India will now be applicable from August 7. President Trump issued this order late at night. Earlier, the US tariff was to be effective from today (August 1). With this, most of the products exported from India to America are sure to become expensive there.
