Trump suggested that Russia’s economic potential is being wasted due to global pressures and U.S. tariffs. “Their economy is not doing well right now because it’s been very well disturbed by this,” he said, singling out India’s purchases of Russian oil.

Earlier on Wednesday, Trump announced a 25% tariff rate on Indian goods, along with an unspecified “penalty” for its continued trade relationship with Russia.

As the president pursues his goals on Russia and trade, America’s relationship with an important partner in Asia could end up as collateral damage.
