100% U.S. tariff threat: Can India’s new trade deals reduce its dependence on America?
As the Trump administration has repeatedly changed tariffs on Indian goods, New Delhi has been signing trade agreements at a rapid pace. But can these new markets meaningfully reduce India’s dependence on the U.S. as it’s faced with 100% tariffs?
The Trump administration has given itself authority to impose 100% tariffs on countries that purchase Russian oil and gas, potentially impacting Indian exports. India's importance to the U.S. as a trading partner has grown, with imports from India reaching $92 billion in 2025, almost quadrupling from $24 billion in 2010. The share of U.S. imports from India has also nearly doubled. Despite signing numerous trade agreements in recent years, India's dependence on the U.S. remains high.
