Donald Trump’s 25% additional tariff on India: Anand Mahindra cites ‘law of unintended consequences’; says global ‘Manthan’ can yield ‘Amrit’ for India

In a fiery press conference, US President Donald Trump denied ever specifying a 100% tariff on countries importing oil from Russia — just days after threatening India for being Moscow’s top energy buyer. “I never said a percentage,” Trump claimed, as pressure mounts from New Delhi over alleged Western hypocrisy. India, now facing 25% tariffs, responded by spotlighting America’s own billion-dollar trade with Russia — including uranium and fertilisers. Trump's wavering comments come amid backlash from allies and Republicans alike. Meanwhile, India and Russia have reaffirmed their strategic defence ties. Trump now says further penalties will be decided after talks with Russian officials. As India's energy imports top $50B, New Delhi defends its sovereign trade decisions — exposing what it calls Western “double standards.” Is Trump walking back under pressure, or is this just the calm before another tariff storm? #TrumpNews #IndiaRussia #TariffThreat #USIndiaTensions #RussianOil #TrumpPressConference #TradeWar #Geopolitics #IndoUSRelations #ModiTrump #USRussiaTrade #EnergyCrisis #GlobalTrade #IndiaFightsBack #BreakingNews #TrumpUpdate #IndiaStrategic #OilPolitics #BidenVsTrump #NuclearTrade ~ED.346~HT.408~GR.122~
