Trump-Modi Ties Hit Rock Bottom with New Tariffs on India over Russian Oil

US President Trump's recent decision to impose tariffs on India over Russian oil imports has exacerbated tensions with India's Prime Minister Modi.

The tariffs are a significant departure from traditional US foreign policy towards India, which has long been a strategic ally in the region. The move comes on the heels of growing tensions between the two countries over India's recent purchase of the S-400 air defense system from Russia. This situation has triggered a downward spiral in relations and has broader implications for the future of US-India relations.

What's Next?

With the two countries' relations at an all-time low, the future of their alliance remains uncertain. India has responded to the tariffs with promises of retaliatory measures on US goods, and negotiations between the two countries have reached an impasse. Both nations will have to navigate the potentially damaging consequences of these actions.
