The additional tariff are set to take effect in 21 days, according to the directive. The latest action brings the total duties imposed on Indian products to 50%.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump criticized India then as having tariffs that are &#8220;far too high&#8221; and &#8220;the most strenuous and obnoxious non-monetary trade barriers of any country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The president has sought to target countries doing business with Russia as part of his efforts to pressure the Kremlin to reach a peace deal with Ukraine.

The president announced last week <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-trade-deals-tariffis-deadline\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">higher duties against more than 60 countries<\/a><\/span> ahead of a Friday deadline for them to cut trade deals with his administration.
