Russian oil

Reliance Industries on Friday said it will comply with the EU’s new rules on refined fuel exports following fresh sanctions on Russian oil.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said US sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil are serious but will not significantly impact Russia’s economy.

US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer praised India’s 'pragmatic' stance in talks to reach a mutually beneficial trade deal.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto defended his country’s continued imports of Russian oil, arguing that Hungary has no alternatives.

The Indian pharmaceutical industry has been exempted from the US tariff hike, announced by President Trump on 27 August, after raising India-related tariffs to 50% on Russian oil purchases.

Analysts say the US tariff hike will have a limited effect on India, with strong domestic demand cushioning textiles, gems, and other exports.

Putin said Russia-US trade has risen 20% under Trump, signalling scope for wider cooperation in technology and space.

India criticises Trump’s 25% import tariffs as unfair and vows to protect national interest amid pressure over Russian oil imports.

Donald Trump said that he will raise tariffs on India again within 24 hours. This comes after he announced a 25 per cent tariff from August 7.

Russia has condemned the Trump tariff threat to India. It called the US pressure 'illegal' and an attack on sovereign trade rights.
