India, Russia hit back after U.S. accuses Modi government of fuelling Russia's war in Ukraine
Tuesday, 5 August 2025 () Russia accused the United States on Tuesday of exerting illegal trade pressure on India after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened again to raise tariffs on India over its purchases of Russian oil. Meanwhile, New Delhi pointed out it's not the only country purchasing Russian goods.
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.”...

As Trump threatens a steep tariff hike on Indian goods over its oil trade with Russia, India's NSA Ajit Doval arrives in Moscow for urgent talks. His visit underscores India’s resolve to deepen strategic ties with Russia amid rising U.S. pressure. Doval is set to discuss defence cooperation, sanctions, and energy security, preparing the ground for a key Modi-Putin summit.

In a fiery Oval Office moment, President Donald Trump announced he is “considering” federalizing the D.C. police force amid what he called an “out-of-control” crime wave in the nation’s capital. Citing a recent brutal assault on a young man, Trump blasted the city’s rising crime, unsafe streets, graffiti, and decaying infrastructure.
The president suggested the National Guard may be brought in to stabilize the situation, declaring that “we’re going to do something about it.” He emphasized his vision of a “safe and beautiful capital” and criticized city leadership for neglect and lawlessness. Trump also vowed to improve the capital’s appearance, from rundown medians to littered streets. While details remain unclear, his remarks have sparked major political debate over federal authority in D.C., especially regarding local law enforcement. The possibility of direct federal intervention has stunned city officials and reignited national discussion over crime, policing, and urban safety.

The U.S. Air Force has deployed its top-secret WC‑135R “Nuke Sniffer” aircraft near Russia’s northwestern nuclear bases—just days after Donald Trump showcased a nuclear-capable submarine. The aircraft, designed to detect radiation in the atmosphere, circled over the Barents Sea for nearly 14 hours, raising alarm over possible preparations by Russia to test its infamous 9M730 Burevestnik (Skyfall) nuclear-powered cruise missile.

India has strongly condemned President Donald Trump’s decision to impose an additional 25% tariff on its goods, effectively doubling the rate to 50%. In a fiery response, New Delhi accused Washington of “economic bullying” and called out U.S. hypocrisy on free trade. The move has heightened tensions between the two nations, with India warning of possible retaliatory measures. Analysts say the tariff hike could impact billions in bilateral trade, strain diplomatic ties, and escalate the ongoing global trade wars.

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?

Nikki Haley has sharply criticized Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on Indian goods over New Delhi’s Russian oil purchases, calling the move "strategically dangerous." In a viral post on ‘X’, the former UN Ambassador warned Trump not to “burn a relationship with a strong ally like India” while giving China a tariff pause. Haley emphasized the importance of U.S.-India ties amid rising Chinese influence in the Indo-Pacific, exposing deep divisions within the GOP on trade and foreign policy strategy.

In a bold diplomatic and military move, India hosted Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. with full state honours—while simultaneously dispatching warships for joint patrols in the South China Sea. INS Delhi, INS Shakti and INS Kiltan sailed alongside Philippine vessels inside Manila’s exclusive economic zone, triggering a subtle yet unmistakable warning to China. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs reaffirmed support for freedom of navigation, calling the waters part of the “global commons.”
The joint drill coincided with Marcos’ five-day India visit, where the two nations signed a landmark Strategic Partnership agreement to boost defence, maritime cooperation, disaster relief and cyber security. While India didn’t name China, Beijing’s rebuke of “third-party interference” left little ambiguity. The coordinated political hospitality and military manoeuvres signal India’s rising Indo-Pacific assertiveness and a strategic alignment with one of China’s fiercest regional rivals—firmly placing New Delhi in the emerging anti-China security web across the Indo-Pacific.

U.S. President Donald Trump was left scrambling when asked if the United States still imports uranium and fertilisers from Russia—despite threatening India over its purchases of Russian crude oil. “I don’t know anything about it,” Trump said, dodging the question during a press briefing. His remarks came as India lashed out at what it calls Western hypocrisy, citing billions of dollars worth of U.S. imports from Russia, including enriched uranium, palladium, and fertilisers.
Trump has warned of “substantial” tariff hikes on Indian imports, criticizing New Delhi’s Russian energy ties. Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley also criticised Trump for giving China “a pass” while risking ties with a major ally like India. The contradiction is fuelling diplomatic tensions and raising questions over U.S. trade ethics in the Ukraine war era. India’s response underscores growing frustration in the Global South over selective enforcement of geopolitical pressure.
