US President donald trump has imposed a 50 percent tax on our country for buying crude oil from Russia. china has strongly opposed this. As trump is going to china later this month to meet President Xi jinping of that country, china has voiced its support for us, which is intended to strengthen the ties between the two countries. Our country is buying crude oil from Russia. This crude oil is available at a concessional price. This is beneficial for our country. US President trump did not tolerate this. trump said that india is helping the war in ukraine by buying crude oil from Russia. He also announced a 25 percent penalty and tax on india for trade with russia on the 1st. After that, he announced another 25 percent tax yesterday. With this, a total of 50 percent tax has been imposed on our country. Of this, a 25 percent tax will be implemented from today, and the next 25 percent tax will be implemented after the 27th.
 Our country has strongly condemned this tax imposed by Donald Trump. This is unfair. It is unfortunate. However, the Union Ministry of External Affairs has stated that all necessary measures will be taken to protect the national interest. Meanwhile, russia, an ally of our country, has strongly opposed the tax imposed by trump on our country. Following this, a question was asked of the spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Guo Jiakun. To this, Guo Jiakun said, "When will china object to the misuse of taxes. This is a permanent decision." In this way, china has voiced its support for India. In addition, china has questioned how taxes can be imposed by misusing taxes. There is also another reason behind this. china buys more crude oil and gas from russia than India. china has not yet been taxed separately because of buying these goods from Russia. Following india, there is a risk that trump will impose taxes on China. It is in this environment that china has registered its opposition to the United States. If we take china, there is a problem with the United States. Recently, donald trump imposed taxes on the United States.
China also imposed taxes on the united states in return. Not only that, but rare minerals from china to the united states were stopped. trump, frightened by this, suspended the tax on China. Now, trump has imposed a 30 percent tax on China. This is how trump has targeted our country after china and imposed a 50 percent tax. It is said that india and china may soon join hands against the United States. As a first step towards this, prime minister Narendra Modi is going to china at the end of this month to meet President Xi Jinping. Accordingly, prime minister Narendra Modi will go to Tianjin, china, from august 31 to september 1. He will participate in the shanghai Cooperation Organization summit there. That is, in 2019, indian and Chinese soldiers clashed in the Galwan Valley in Ladakh. In this, there was a loss of life on both sides. This caused a rift in the relations between the two countries. Now that the rift is gradually healing, it has been announced that prime minister Modi will go to China.  India-China relations have been at their worst for the last 6 years, and Modi is going to china amid Trump's threat of tariffs. This has created great expectations that India-China relations will strengthen under Trump.
