Trump suggests revising Russia sanctions bill targeting India tariffs
US President Donald Trump reacted to the Russia sanctions bill that threatens 100% tariffs on India.
Trump said lawmakers should revise the bill to give him broad authority to impose tariffs on Iran.
The bill, advanced by the late Senator Lindsey Graham, aims to increase economic pressure on Moscow for invading Ukraine.
India is the second-largest importer of Russian crude oil and could face tariffs up to 100% under the bill.
Trump's proposal could slow the legislation as it heads to the House of Representatives.
