Trump aide claims India ‘financing’ Ukraine war
He highlighted that India is purchasing nearly as much Russian oil as China, calling it a surprising fact. Recently, former President Trump also criticized India’s ties with Russia on social media, stating indifference to the economic consequences for India and expressing frustration over high tariffs on US exports to India.
Trump has threatened to impose 100% tariffs on countries buying Russian oil unless Russia agrees to a significant peace deal in Ukraine. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio similarly condemned India’s oil imports from Russia as sustaining Moscow’s war effort, describing it as a source of tension in US-India relations.
In response, India defended its oil purchases by emphasizing their role in preventing drastic spikes in global crude prices despite Western sanctions.
