  Escalating tensions over Ukraine prompt diplomatic caution from Moscow as Washington intensifies pressure.

The announcement came via Trump’s Truth Social account on Monday, where he accused India of purchasing large volumes of Russian oil and reselling it at high profits on the global market. “India doesn’t care how many people the Russian war machine has killed in Ukraine,” Trump wrote. “Therefore, I will significantly raise the tariffs India pays to the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!” While the president did not specify the exact rate or timeline for the tariff hike, the move follows last week’s declaration that Indian goods would be subject to a 25% import duty starting August 1, citing both trade imbalances and India’s defense purchases from Moscow. India swiftly responded, rejecting the criticism as “unreasonable.” Foreign Minist...
