Indo-US relations affected by Trump’s tariff
India and the US relations have been affected by Trump’s tariff. Trump has increased closely with Pakistan in the recent past. He has targeted India for buying crude oil from Russia. India has repeatedly criticized to continue buying oil from Russia. Warned that such purchases would weaken international efforts to pressurize Moscow to end war in Ukraine.
On the other hand, India has clearly stated that crude oil imports from Russia will not stop. On the tariff imposed by Trump, India has said that we are not going to bow under pressure. Negotiations are going on between India and the US about the trade agreement.
