The programme examines the escalating trade dispute between India and the United States. What was once considered a strong friendship is now strained by disagreements over trade tariffs and oil imports. Following a social media post by President Donald Trump threatening further tariff hikes and linking India’s oil imports from Russia to debts in Ukraine, New Delhi responded. The Ministry of External Affairs stated India began importing oil from Russia due to traditional supplies being diverted to Europe after the 2022 conflict. It highlighted that the US itself encouraged these imports to stabilize global energy markets. The MEA also pointed out the European Union’s significant trade with Russia and US imports of various goods from Russia, calling the targeting of India unjustified. The MEA affirmed India will safeguard its national interest. President Trump stated, "India has charged basically more tariffs than almost any other country." The Narendra Modi government has consistently stated its oil purchases from Russia are legal and in the interest of Indian consumers. This standoff has put anticipated Indo-US trade talks under a cloud. #indiausrelations #tradewar #tariffs #itwebvideos #russianoil #energysecurity #globaltrade #diplomacy #mea #indiatoday #report #tradetensions #internationalrelations #oilimports #nationalinterest #geopolitics #tradedispute #usindia
