President Donald Trump's simmering trade feud with India, a key U.S. economic and defense partner, has raised fears that New Delhi could be pushed deeper into Russia and China's orbit. Trump imposed a 25-percent tariff of all Indian goods coming into the United States from August 1 as well as an unspecified extra penalty for India's continued purchase of Russian oil amid the war in Ukraine.
