U.S. President Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on India and Russia, calling them “dead economies” amid rising trade tensions. Following a 25% tariff on Indian imports due to its defense and energy ties with Russia, Trump posted on Truth Social that he doesn’t care what India does with Russia. He criticized India’s high tariffs and minimal trade with the U.S., while warning former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to “watch his words.” India responded diplomatically, reaffirming its commitment to a fair bilateral trade agreement and protecting domestic interests. The remarks have intensified geopolitical friction and cast uncertainty over future India-U.S. trade negotiations. (PC: X)
