In a scathing rebuke, top Trump aide Stephen Miller has accused India of "financing Russia’s war in Ukraine" by continuing to import oil from Moscow.
Speaking on Fox News, Miller expressed alarm over India’s near-parity with China in buying Russian crude — calling it an “astonishing fact.” This comes after President Trump, escalating economic pressure, imposed a 25% tariff on Indian goods and warned of a potential 100% tariff on imports from countries dealing with Russia.
Indian officials, however, remain firm on maintaining ties with Moscow for oil purchases.
The Indian Embassy in Washington has not responded, but sources told Reuters that New Delhi will not bow to threats.
Miller noted Trump's "tremendous" relationship with PM Modi, but the strong rhetoric signals a shift.
The stakes are high, and tensions are brewing as Trump's foreign policy sharpens its focus on global alignments.
