Trump warns India: Cut Russian oil imports or face “massive” U.S. tariffs

• President Donald Trump threatened India with “massive” tariffs unless it sharply reduces purchases of Russian oil, linking the move to energy‑security and trade policy.
• India, which buys large volumes of heavily discounted Russian crude, called the measure “unjustified” and defended its right to set independent energy policy.
Why this matters
• For importers and exporters: the U.S. is tying trade duties to energy‑geopolitics. If India doesn't shift course, expect tariffs on Indian goods to deepen the trade standoff.
