India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) reaffirmed the resilience of India-US ties amid President Trump’s announcement of a 25% tariff on Indian imports.

Jaiswal noted the potential for further expansion in security ties and reiterated India’s pragmatic approach to energy sourcing based on market conditions and global realities.
