India will continue importing oil from Russia despite U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats of imposing a 25% tariff and penalties over India’s energy and defense ties with Moscow. Trump recently claimed India might stop these imports, but Indian officials denied any such plan. They emphasized India’s long-term contract with Russia and said trade cannot be halted overnight. Russia supplies about 35% of India’s oil. The Indian government asserts that these purchases comply with global regulations and are not subject to direct sanctions.
