US President Donald Trump is considering imposing tariffs on China for buying Russian oil, Vice President JD Vance said, after recently raising tariffs on India to 50% over similar purchases. Vance told Fox News that no decision had been made, citing the complexities of US-China relations. China’s Russian oil imports reached $10 billion in July, the highest since March, despite US warnings. Beijing defended its trade with Moscow as “legitimate and lawful.” Senior adviser Peter Navarro cautioned that tariffs could harm the US economy. India has called the US move “unfair and unreasonable,” stressing energy security for its 1.4 billion people. (PC: India Today)
