‘Right to choose trading partners’: Russia calls Trump’s ‘threats’ to India ‘not legal’
The Kremlin has criticised US President Trump for pressuring India to cut trade ties with Russia, calling it illegal. Trump's recent announcement of a 25% tariff on Indian imports and a threat to impose penalties for buying Russian crude has been met with strong opposition from the Kremlin. India has also rejected Trump's claims and vowed to protect its economic interests.
