U.S. Imposes Tariffs on India Over Russian Oil and Arms Trade
The TRUMP administration has levied a 25% tariff on Indian goods in response to New Delhi's continued purchases of Russian oil and military equipment. Stephen Miller, a top aide to former President Trump, criticized India sharply, equating its oil imports from Russia to China's—a comparison he called "astonishing." Despite Washington's stance as a key Indo-Pacific ally, India remains defiant, with officials signaling no intention to halt Russian energy deals.
The tariffs mark an escalation in U.S. pressure, with Trump threatening 100% duties on any nation buying Russian oil unless Moscow agrees to a major peace deal with Ukraine. Miller emphasized Trump's "tremendous" relationship with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, though the diplomatic friction shows no immediate signs of easing.
