New Delhi has issued a sharp rebuttal to Donald Trump’s threat of substantial tariff hikes over India’s procurement of Russian oil, calling the targeting "unjustified and unreasonable". The Ministry of External Affairs stated that India’s energy imports are a necessity and that it will take all measures to protect its economic security. In its response, India pointed to the continued trade that both the United States and the European Union have with Russia, presenting it as hypocritical. According to data cited, the EU’s bilateral trade with Russia in 2024 was €67.5 billion, and the US continues to import goods like uranium hexafluoride. An analyst suggests that while the strong response is important for domestic audiences, Donald Trump is likely using tariffs as a geopolitical tool and may not be influenced by India’s fact-based pushback.
