Tariffs, Ties and Tensions: Can India Navigate the US-Russia Power Play?
India cannot ignore the U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat of secondary tariffs over its oil trade with Russia, but experts argue it may be more political posturing than serious policy. Trump’s record of shifting positions and his ongoing trade talks with China suggest limited room for drastic moves.

Ultimately, it could backfire, pushing BRICS nations closer together and weakening Western influence, as India balances autonomy with global geopolitical realities.
