Executive order
ADDRESSING THREATS TO THE UNITED STATES BY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
To deal with the national emergency described in Executive Order 14066, I determine that it is necessary and appropriate to impose an additional ad valorem duty on imports of articles of India, which is directly or indirectly importing Russian Federation oil. In my judgment, imposing tariffs, as described below, in addition to maintaining the other measures taken to address the national emergency described in Executive Order 14066, will more effectively deal with the national emergency described in Executive Order 14066.
Sec. 2. Imposition of Tariffs. (a) I find that the Government of India is currently directly or indirectly importing Russian Federation oil.
(b) Accordingly, and as consistent with applicable law, articles of India imported into the customs territory of the United States shall be subject to an additional ad valorem rate of duty of 25 percent.
These freaking tariffs are killing manufacturing in the USA. All our customers don’t know what to do with all this BS uncertainty. And to the idiots on this site that can’t take criticism of Trump…I voted for him 3 times and have a Trump flag out front of my house. Just settle on a tariff and move on….this is killing manufacturing here!

[NOTE: Many people think FDR’s embargo on Japan lead to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Sanctioning can backfire badly and hurt, not help, the cause of national security. India can unilaterally stop exporting life-saving generic drugs to the USA.]
