Donald Trump Aide Accuses India Of Funding Russia’s War, Imposes Tariff As Modi Strikes Defiant Note

Tensions between India and the United States have intensified after a top aide to President Donald Trump accused India of “cheating” on trade, exploiting US immigration, and funding Russia’s war in Ukraine through oil purchases. White House official Stephen Miller said Trump could use “all options”, diplomatic, financial, or otherwise, against India. The remarks, aired on Fox News, mark one of the most aggressive US postures against New Delhi in recent years. Yet, India has made it clear it won’t back down. PM Modi responded by affirming India’s sovereign right to energy security and slammed Trump’s 25% tariff on Indian exports. He called for buying only what’s made “by the sweat of Indians.” Despite US pressure, Indian oil refiners remain free to source crude from Russia. As Trump pivots away from years of strategic goodwill with India, New Delhi is preparing for a broader geopolitical showdown, asserting national interest over foreign dictates.#donaldtrump #indiarussiaoil #usindiatradewar #trumptariffs #russianoilban #modivstrump #trumpadministration #usindiarelations #bricssummit #indianeconomy #geopolitics #globaltrade #modigovernment #putinwar #india #breakingnews #trending #bharat #toi #toibharat #indianews
