India has condemned US and EU pressure regarding its Russian oil purchases, asserting its right to secure energy supplies. Foreign Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal stated that targeting India is unjustified, highlighting that Western nations also trade with Russia. President Trump threatened to increase tariffs on Indian goods to 25%, citing India's purchase of discounted Russian oil. India maintains it will protect its national economic interests despite these threats, arguing its oil imports began only after Western countries reduced supplies to Europe.
