End Unfair US Tariffs and Sanctions on India Over Russian Oil Purchases
Related Article: US Secy Rubio explains why Trump admin taxed India over Russian oil but delayed China sanctions - chinanews.net - Monday, August 18, 2025, 2:58:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time
Target: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, President Donald Trump, and the United States Congress
Goal: We call on the US government to immediately end discriminatory tariffs and secondary sanctions on India related to Russian oil purchases, and to adopt a consistent, just approach to international trade and diplomacy.
The Trump administration recently imposed a 50% tariff on Indian exports to the US, including a 25% penalty for India's trade with Russia. These measures punish India for purchasing oil from Russia, while similar sanctions on China—the largest buyer of Russian oil—have been delayed for political reasons. This selective enforcement of economic penalties undermines global cooperation, hurts millions of Indian workers, and sets a dangerous precedent for international relations.
Tariffs and sanctions should not be wielded as tools of geopolitical leverage at the expense of ordinary people. The US must pursue fair, transparent, and consistent policies that respect the sovereignty of other nations and prioritize global economic stability over political gamesmanship.
Key Demands
- Immediately lift all penalty tariffs and sanctions on India related to Russian oil purchases.
- Adopt a uniform and transparent policy regarding sanctions and tariffs that does not discriminate between countries.
- Engage in multilateral dialogue to address concerns over Russian oil trade without resorting to punitive measures that harm workers and small businesses.
- Ensure that US foreign policy decisions prioritize human rights, economic justice, and international cooperation.
