"Unjustified, Unreasonable" India Hits Back As Trump Threatens To Raise Tariffs Over Russian Oil
Donald Trump announced a sharp increase in tariffs on Indian goods, citing New Delhi's continued import of Russian oil. The US President accused India of 'buying massive amounts of Russian oil and selling it on the open market for big profits." Trump had earlier imposed 25% tariff on India and an unspecified penalty for buying Russian crude oil and military equipment. India responded strongly to Trump's latest 'tariff" threat, saying that targeting New Delhi is 'unjustified and unreasonable" and highlighted how the US continues to import uranium hexafluoride from Russia for its nuclear industry. n18oc_world n18oc_crux

India's hard-hitting response after Trump's fresh tariff threat: Key points
Hours after US President Donald Trump threatened to raise tariffs on India over its continued purchase of Russian oil amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict, the Indian government issued a strongly worded statement on Monday questioning Washington and the European Union for their duplicity in their stance. In the statement, the Ministry of External Affairs said that India's oil imports are guided by national interests and energy security considerations and rejected what it described as "unjustified and unreasonable" pressure from Western STATEMENT - KEY TAKEAWAYS The statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) explained that India began buying discounted Russian oil after the Ukraine conflict disrupted global energy flows. As traditional suppliers shifted their focus to meet Europe's demand, India turned to Russia to secure its energy needs. The ministry highlighted that at the time the US in fact had 'encouraged such imports', viewing them as a means to 'strengthening global energy markets stability'. MEA also pointed out that the countries criticising India are themselves engaged in trade with Russia. However, unlike India, where such trade is a critical national necessity, their dealings lack the same justification and are 'not even a vital national compulsion'. The ministry's statement went on to explain that India's energy imports from Russia are essential to ensuring affordable and predictable fuel prices for Indian consumers. They are a necessity compelled by the global market situation. Highlighting the disparity in global trade practices, the ministry pointed out that the European Union maintained significant economic ties with Russia. In 2024, EU-Russia bilateral trade in goods reached Euro 67.5 billion, while trade in services was estimated at Euro 17.2 billion in 2023, underscoring the ongoing commercial engagement despite public criticism directed at India. The ministry also drew comparisons between India's and Europe's trade with Russia, noting that the EU's commercial engagement was significantly higher than India's total trade with Russia during the same period or afterward. It highlighted that European imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Russia hit a record 16.5 million tonnes in 2024, surpassing the previous high of 15.21 million tonnes recorded in 2022. India also highlighted that Europe's trade with Russia extends well beyond energy, encompassing a wide range of sectors. This includes fertilizers, mining products, chemicals, iron and steel, as well as machinery and transport equipment. Furthermore, the ministry drew attention to US imports from Russia and said Washington continues to import uranium hexafluoride for its nuclear industry, palladium crucial to the electric vehicle sector, as well as fertilisers and various chemicals from Russia. advertisementConcluding its statement, the ministry asserted that the criticism directed at India is both unjustified and unreasonable. It said that, like any major economy, India is fully entitled to take all necessary steps to protect its national interests and ensure its economic security. The developments come after US President Donald Trump imposed a 25 per cent tariff on India from August 1, 2025 onwards. The tariff, as per Trump, comes in response to India's rates for the US which are the 'highest in the world'. Trump said that the tariff comes as a penalty for India's purchase of Russian oil and its participation in the BRICS bloc, which Trump deems as 'anti-American.' - EndsTune InMust Watch IN THIS STORY#United States of America#Donald Trump

Nations criticising India indulging in trade with Russia: India's full statement
India has firmly defended its oil imports from Russia, calling out the 'unjustified and unreasonable' criticism by the United States and European Union, and highlighting what it sees as double standards in the West's own trade with a strong statement, the Ministry of External Affairs said that India's energy imports are a matter of economic necessity, driven by global market shifts following the outbreak of the Ukraine conflict. The ministry pointed out that the US had in fact 'actively encouraged such imports by India to strengthen global energy markets stability.'advertisementHERE IS THE FULL STATEMENT RELEASED BY INDIA: 1. India has been targeted by the United States and the European Union for importing oil from Russia after the commencement of the Ukraine conflict. In fact, India began importing from Russia because traditional supplies were diverted to Europe after the outbreak of the conflict. The United States at that time actively encouraged such imports by India for strengthening global energy markets stability.2. India's imports are meant to ensure predictable and affordable energy costs to the Indian consumer. They are a necessity compelled by the global market situation. However, it is revealing that the very nations criticizing India are themselves indulging in trade with Russia. Unlike our case, such trade is not even a vital national compulsion.3. The European Union in 2024 had a bilateral trade of Euro 67.5 billion in goods with Russia. In addition, it had trade in services estimated at Euro 17.2 billion in 2023. This is significantly more than India's total trade with Russia that year or subsequently. European imports of LNG in 2024, in fact, reached a record 16.5mn tonnes, surpassing the last record of 15.21mn tonnes in 2022.4. Europe-Russia trade includes not just energy, but also fertilisers, mining products, chemicals, iron and steel and machinery and transport equipment.5. Where the United States is concerned, it continues to import from Russia uranium hexafluoride for its nuclear industry, palladium for its EV industry, fertilisers as well as chemicals.6. In this background, the targeting of India is unjustified and unreasonable. Like any major economy, India will take all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests and economic security.- EndsTune InMust Watch
