U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he could impose more duties on Chinese goods, after hitting India with punitive tariffs over its purchase of Russian oil.

Trump’s executive order that imposed a 25 percent additional duty on Indian goods followed his earlier warning of secondary tariffs on buyers of Russian oil, unless the Kremlin ended its war with Ukraine.
