‘If Talks Fail…’: U.S. Issues Sanctions Threat To India On Russia Ties Ahead Of Trump-Putin Meet

A high-stakes geopolitical showdown is brewing as US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warns India of possible harsher tariffs if the upcoming Trump–Putin Alaska summit fails to produce a breakthrough on Ukraine. With President Trump already imposing a staggering 50% tariff rate on India over Russian oil and arms purchases, tensions between Delhi and Washington are at boiling point. As Alaska braces for the summit, US fighter jets patrol the skies, sanctions on Moscow are briefly eased for talks, and speculation swirls over possible economic incentives to tempt Russia into peace. But if diplomacy falters, India could become the most heavily taxed US trade partner in Asia, crippling its export industries and dealing a heavy blow to its economy.#TrumpPutinSummit #AlaskaSummit #IndiaUSRelations #USRussiaTensions #UkraineWar #TradeWar #OilPolitics #SanctionsShowdown #Geopolitics #BreakingNews
