Trump has taken this step regarding India's purchase of Russian oil.
How can India's tariff be reduced?
In July, US President has imposed, 25 percent tariff on India. At that time, he imposed tariffs on more than 80 countries. However, later he announced an additional 25 percent tariff, which came into effect from August 27. When the White House advisor was asked about reducing the tariff on India, he said that it is very easy to reduce it. If India stops buying Russian oil, it can get a 25 percent discount tomorrow itself. He also said, “I am surprised. Because Modi is a great leader.

India is a mature democracy.” Expressing his disappointment over India's stance on tariffs, Peter Navarro said, “What bothers me is that Indians are arrogant about this tariff. They say, 'Hey, we don't have much tariffs. Hey, it's our sovereignty. So we can buy oil from whoever we want this is our choice.'
India is causing damage to America
Meanwhile Navarro has also blames India of increasing Moscow's war efforts. He said, "By buying Russian oil at a discount, Russia uses the money it gets to run its war machines and kill more Ukrainians." “Everyone in America is suffering because of what India is doing. “He argued that this affects the US economy. Every sector is getting affected. Because our jobs, factories, income and high salaries are being lost due to India's high tariffs.
Summary
White House advisor Peter Navarro further said, “The money India earns by selling goods to us, it buys Russian oil, which is then processed by refineries and makes a lot of money there, but then the Russians use this money to make more weapons and kill Ukrainians, so the American taxpayer has to give more help to the Ukrainians militarily. This is madness.”
