Trump said last week Washington was still negotiating with India on trade after announcing the U.S. would impose a 25% tariff on goods imported from the country starting last Friday.
“India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits. They don’t care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine,“ Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
He did not elaborate on what the tariff would be.
Washington has cited geopolitical disagreements with India to explain why it has not yet been able to reach a trade deal with New Delhi.
A spokesperson for India’s foreign ministry said India will “take all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests and economic security.”
India began importing oil from Russia because traditional supplies were diverted to Europe after the outbreak of the Ukraine conflict, the Indian statement said.
The statement also noted the West’s, particularly the European Union’s, bilateral trade with Russia: “It is revealing that the very nations criticizing India are themselves indulging in trade with Russia.”
India’s position has been that New Delhi and Islamabad must resolve their issues directly without outside involvement.
