Trump Aide Criticizes India's Oil Purchases from Russia Amid Ukraine Conflict
A key aide to former President Donald Trump criticized India for buying oil from Russia, alleging it funds Russia's war in Ukraine. The Trump administration's stance is part of escalating pressure to halt these purchases, amid tensions, including tariffs on Indian products due to Russian military and energy buys.

In a pointed critique, a senior official from the Trump administration has accused India of aiding Russia's military endeavors in Ukraine through its continued purchase of Russian oil.
Stephen Miller, a prominent aide to Donald Trump, highlighted India's significant role in the Russian oil market, stating that the country's buying habits are essentially financing the ongoing conflict.
Despite these accusations and the imposition of tariffs, Indian sources have indicated that the nation will persist in its current trade relations with Moscow, underscoring a complex interplay of international economic and diplomatic tensions.
