Karoline Leavitt LIVE | White House Press Secretary Big Statement on Putin | Trump | US News LIVE

US White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Tuesday (local time) said that US President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on India to deter Russia from pursuing the Ukraine conflict. Trump has doubled India's tariff to 50 per cent by imposing an additional 25 per cent levy on the previously announced 25 per cent. Leavitt, during her press briefing, said that the intent behind the sanctions was to put secondary pressure on Russia. "Look, the president has put tremendous public pressure to bring this war to a close. He's taken actions, as you've seen, sanctions on India and other actions as well. He's made himself very clear that he wants to see this war end, and he has scoffed at the ideas of others that have been raised that we should wait another month before any meeting takes place," she said. #karolineleavitt #live #whitehouse #donaldtrump #zelensky #trump #putin #ukrainewar #russia #tariffs #usnews #washingtondc #karolineleavittlive #pmmodi #india #tariffs Mint is an Indian financial daily newspaper published by HT Media.
