India REJECTS Trump’s SHOCKING Tariff Threats Over Russian Oil, Refuses to Bow; Not in 1971, Not Now

Oneindia

India has firmly rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff threats over its continued purchase of Russian oil, vowing not to bow to external pressure. In a defiant statement, New Delhi reminded Washington that India stood its ground during past crises — including the 1971 war — and will do so again. Calling Trump’s warnings “unjustified” and the West’s stance “hypocritical,” India asserted its sovereign right to choose trade partners. The move underscores New Delhi’s determination to protect its energy security and strategic independence despite mounting U.S. pressure.    #TrumpTariffWarning #TrumpIndiaTariff #IndiaTrumpTariff #TrumpTariffsOnIndia #TrumpIndiaTariff2025 #TrumpIndiaTariffNews #TrumpTariffOnIndia #TrumpTariffIndia #DonaldTrumpIndiaTariff #DonaldTrumpOnIndiaTariff #IndiaOnTrumpTariff #TrumpIndiaTariffs2025 #TrumpTariffThreatIndia #Trump25PercentTariff #TrumpTariffsImpact #TrumpVsIndia #USIndiaTradeTensions  ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.420~GR.124~
