India accuses US, EU of Russia trade double standards: Who is right? By America-Today August 6, 2025
India on Monday hit back at the United States and European Union over sanctions, tariffs and threats that it has faced from them in recent days over its purchase of Russian oil amid the war on Ukraine. New Delhi accused the US and EU of themselves importing substantial volumes of goods ¨C including energy in the case of Europe ¨C from Russia, while punishing India. India¡¯s strongest pushback yet, against mounting pressure from Washington and Brussels on trade and its ties with Russia, came hours after US President Donald Trump threatened to significantly increase tariffs he had previously announced against Indian goods. As India¡¯s relations with the West ¨C otherwise warm and growing until recently ¨C now fray over its purchase of Russian energy, how true are New Delhi¡¯s claims that the West is as guilty of enabling the Kremlin¡¯s war machine as those it blames? |
