Hello and welcome to NewsHour from the BBC World Service.
We're coming to you live from London.
I'm James Menendez.
In a moment, we will be heading to India as US tariffs of 50% on Indian goods come into force.
Also today,
the Danish government has summoned a senior US diplomat in Copenhagen because of what it calls an influence campaign that America's been waging in Greenland,
apparently to persuade people there that they'd be better off with the US.
And a Korean-inspired animation becomes Netflix's most watched film ever.
We'll hear how K-pop continues to grab imaginations all around the world.
That's coming up in the second half of the programme.
But we are going to start in India,
which today finds itself in the unenviable position of having to deal with some of the highest U.S. trade tariffs in the world.
That's
because President Trump's 25% levy imposed because of India's purchases of discounted Russian oil came into effect at midnight Washington time.
And they come on top of a separate reciprocal tariff,
bringing the total amount that U.S. firms must pay to bring in goods from India to 50%.
And that is bad news for the world's fastest-growing large economy.
The US is India's biggest export market,
and it raises a huge question mark over relations between Washington and Delhi,
which, once warm, have now taken a nosedive.
