‘Idiotic’: Ex-Finance Secretary Blasts Donal Trump For Penalising India Over Russian Oil Purchase

In this hard-hitting interview, Subhash Chandra Garg, former Finance and Economic Affairs Secretary of India, sharply criticises US President Donald Trump for imposing steep 25% tariffs and penalising India for continuing oil trade with Russia. Garg highlights that the additional penalties, tied to India’s energy imports, reflect a one-sided approach by the US and pose a serious threat to India’s trade stability. He calls the US expectations unrealistic, stressing that India must prioritize its own energy security and economic interests. Garg urges the government to push back diplomatically and defend India’s sovereign right to chart an independent trade strategy.#donaldtrump #trumptariff #tariffwar #indiaustrade #indiatariff #russianoil #russia #subhashchandragarg #msme #indianeconomy #geopolitics #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #trendin #indianews
