Paper: GS – II, Subject: International Relations, Topic: India’s Foreign Policy, Issue: India Response to U.S Tariffs.
Context:
India’s response to the U.S. consideration of imposing duties on countries, including India, that continue to purchase Russian oil.
- The US President’s proposal of 100% secondary tariffs on countries trading with Russia represents a form of this mechanism.
- These tariffs would target entire countries, not just individual companies or specific deals.
- All goods from those countries could face higher taxes when entering the US.
- The goal is to pressure these countries to change their trade relations with Russia.
Key Takeaways:
Definition of Secondary Sanctions:
- Secondary sanctions are trade restrictions imposed on countries or entities that conduct business with a sanctioned country.
- They aim to discourage indirect support for the targeted country’s trade or economy by penalizing third parties.
- Unlike primary sanctions, which directly target specific countries or entities, secondary sanctions target those who do business with them.
