Trump threatens India with high tariffs over purchase of Russian oil: country's reaction.

Trump's Threats to India

President of the United States Donald Trump decided not only to threaten someone on Twitter, but also to send threats to India through the social network Truth Social. He is talking about high tariffs that he wants to implement due to the country buying Russian oil and funding Russia's war against Ukraine.

'India is not only buying a huge amount of Russian oil, but also selling a significant portion of the purchased oil on the open market at a substantial profit. They don't care how many people in Ukraine are dying at the hands of the Russian military machine. Because of this, I will significantly raise the tariffs that India pays to the US'

It is also worth noting that the post ends not merely with the signature 'President DJT', which indicates his personal involvement in writing it.

India's Reaction to Trump's Threats

In response to threats from the US president, India stated that it imports Russian oil to ensure stable energy prices for its citizens. Official spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs Randhir Jaiswal noted that it is unfair to target India when other countries are also cooperating with Russia in the field of energy and trade.

'As for the United States, they continue to import uranium hexafluoride from Russia for their nuclear industry, palladium for their electric vehicle industry, fertilizers, and also chemicals. Against this backdrop, targeting India is unjustified and unfounded. Like any major economy, India will take all necessary measures to protect its national interests and economic security'

Currently, the imposition of tariffs is occurring against the backdrop of instability in global politics, which may affect economic relations between countries.
