US imports from Russia surge 23% in 2025, India calls out Trump for hypocrisy amid tariff threats
Even as Donald Trump threatens India with tariffs over its oil imports from Russia, fresh data shows the US itself has quietly ramped up trade with Moscow, importing key commodities like uranium, fertilisers, and palladium despite earlier sanctions. read more Even as US President Donald Trump attempts to dictate tariff terms and impose penalties on India for importing oil from Russia, Washington's own trade with Moscow is quietly on the rise, even as it chastises New Delhi over its energy and defence ties. According to a report from The Indian Express, between January and May 2025, American imports from Russia rose by 23 per cent year-on-year to $2.1 billion, driven largely by uranium, palladium, and fertilisers. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD This surge comes despite earlier heavy US sanctions on Moscow. Following the outbreak of the Ukraine war in 2022, US imports from Russia plummeted from $30 billion in 2021 to just $3 billion by 2024. Crude oil, once the top US import from Russia, valued at over $17 billion in 2021, has virtually disappeared. Yet essential commodities such as fertilisers, uranium, and palladium continue to enter the US in significant volumes. According to data from the US International Trade Commission cited in the report, America imported $806 million worth of Russian fertilisers in the first five months of 2025, a 21 per cent increase from last year and 60 per cent higher than the same period in 2021. Uranium imports surged 28 per cent year-on-year to $596 million, nearly 150 per cent higher than in 2021. Although the US formally banned enriched uranium imports from Russia in 2024, companies are allowed to apply for waivers until 2028, a key reason behind the continuing flow. Palladium, primarily used in catalytic converters to reduce vehicle emissions, also remains a significant import. In 2024, the US imported $878 million worth of the metal from Russia. This growing trade has drawn scrutiny after President Donald Trump threatened steep new tariffs on Indian goods, accusing New Delhi of taking advantage of discounted Russian crude. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD India hit back sharply. 'The US continues to import uranium, palladium, and fertilisers from Russia even as it criticises us,' the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Monday. 'India's oil imports are based on economic necessity, not political preference.' The MEA had earlier criticised the US and European nations for what it called blatant hypocrisy. In 2024, the EU traded goods worth €67.5 billion and services worth €17.2 billion with Russia far surpassing India's total trade. European imports of Russian LNG also hit a record 16.5 million tonnes that year, higher than pre-war levels. 'Unlike India, whose trade is driven by national need, many Western countries continue their commerce with Russia by choice,' the MEA said.

Stock markets decline in early trade dragged down by Oil & Gas shares, foreign fund outflows
Equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty declined in initial trade on Tuesday, dragged down by selling in oil & gas shares and persistent foreign fund outflows. Investor sentiment was further dampened after US President Donald Trump threatened to impose higher tariffs on India over its purchases of Russian oil. The 30-share BSE Sensex declined by 315.03 points or 0.39 per cent to 80,703.69 in early trade. The 50-share NSE Nifty went lower by 41.80 points or 0.17 per cent to 24,680.95. Among the Sensex firms, BEL, HDFC Bank, Reliance Industries, ICICI Bank, Infosys, Hindustan Unilever, Adani Ports, Mahindra & Mahindra, Asian Paints, and Tata Steel were the major laggards. Maruti, State Bank of India, HCL Technologies, Axis Bank, UltraTech Cement, Tata Motors, Titan, NTPC and Bajaj Finance were among the gainers. 'The latest tweet from President Donald Trump that 'I will be substantially raising US tariffs on India' for buying Russian oil is a big threat. If he walks his talk, India-US relations will further strain, and the impact on India's exports to the US can be worse than thought earlier. 'India's GDP growth and corporate earnings in FY26 will also be impacted. The market, still trading at elevated valuations, has not discounted such an eventuality. It remains to be seen how things evolve. India's response, with facts, that 'Targeting India is unjustified and unreasonable' sends a message that India will not be making undue concessions and compromises,' VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments, said. This means the market is in uncharted territory in the near-term. If President Trump raises tariffs on India further, the market will react negatively. Investors may wait and watch for the developments to unfold, he added. In Asian markets, South Korea's Kospi, Shanghai's SSE Composite index, Hong Kong's Hang Seng and Japan's Nikkei 225 index were quoted in positive territory. The US markets ended higher on Monday. Global oil benchmark Brent crude dipped 0.33 per cent to USD 68.53 a barrel. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 2,566.51 crore while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) outnumbered the FIIs by purchasing equities worth Rs 4,386.29 crore on Monday, according to exchange data. On Monday, the 30-share Sensex gained 418.81 points to settle at 81,018.72, and the NSE Nifty jumped by 157.40 points to close at 24,722.75.
