Do not spoil relationships with India- Nikki Haley
Former US Ambassador to UN Nikki Haley posted Trump X and advised Trump not to spoil relations with India. He said, “India should not buy oil from Russia, but China, which is our opponent and is the biggest buyer of Russian-Irani oil, has been relaxed in tariffs for 90 days. Do not discount China and do not spoil your relations with strong colleagues like India.”
Trump again talked about increasing tariffs on India
In an interview to CNBC, American President Trump said that he would increase the tariff on India and amend the rate of 25 percent earlier. He said, “India has the most tariffs. We do very little business with India. We had compromised on 25 percent, but I think I will increase it a lot in the next 24 hours.”
Russia openly came in support of India
Trump had earlier threatened to increase the tariff on India on Monday (4 August 2025), after which Russia openly stood up in India’s support. Russia reacted strongly, calling the US a strategy to create such pressure as illegal. Russian President’s spokesman Dimitri Peskov said, “We know about American threats against India. Russia does not accept such statements.”
Russia said, “Sovereign countries should have the right to choose partners in their business partners, trade and economic cooperation and to choose business and economic cooperation system in the interest of a particular country.”
