President Donald Trump's plan to level the playing field when it comes to international trade is focusing in on India. He announced a 50% tariff on goods from India earlier this week. India has since responded by delaying plans to buy U.S. weapons and aircrafts.

News of the additional levy on Indian imports has earned mixed reactions from Washington trade groups and businesses.

Tariffs on Indian exports to the United States will surge to 50 percent by late August, as part of an effort by President Trump to pressure Russia into resolving its war in Ukraine.
