Russia and India Talk up 'Strategic Partnership' After Trump Tariff Hike
- Russia and India emphasized their strategic partnership during bilateral security talks in Moscow on August 7, following U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff hike on Indian imports due to oil purchases from Russia.
- Trump's new 25% tariff on Indian goods, effective August 28, represents a significant decline in U.S.-India relations, jeopardizing India's access to its main export market.
- Indian National Security Adviser Ajit Doval highlighted strong relations with Russia, stating, 'We have now established very good relations, which we value very much, a strategic partnership between our countries.'
- Both nations committed to active cooperation for a more just world order and addressing modern challenges, per Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu.
