US President Trump has pressured India to stop oil imports from Russia and comply with sanctions against Iran, straining the longstanding strategic partnership between the two nations. Trade talks remain stalled after Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Indian exports, threatening further increases. In response, India labeled the tariffs unjustified and stated it would defend its national interests. Trump has intensified his rhetoric, criticizing India for its relationship with Russia amid the Ukraine conflict, marking a deterioration in US-India relations despite previously warm ties between leaders Modi and Trump.
The US has imposed a 25% tariff on Indian exports to the US, effective August 1, threatening to substantially increase it.
India has responded to the tariffs, stating they are unjustified and unreasonable, and will take all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests.
Trump's rhetoric towards India has become harsher, accusing New Delhi of aiding Russia's war effort through its oil purchases, which has marked a shift in relations.
Experts indicate that India does not seek confrontation, but also see the US's trade tactics as a form of intimidation, leading to low trust and high disappointment.
