## Why is India reluctant to stop buying Russian oil even after Trump’s tariff threats

Authored by edition.cnn.com

The conundrum pits Trump and Modi, two nationalist leaders who have often described their friendship in warm terms, increasingly against each other.

Trump earlier this week threatened India with the new tariffs, saying it was helping Russia wage war in Ukraine.

“I don’t care what India does with Russia,” Trump wrote in an irate post on Truth Social last week. »
