Stephen Miller, a top aide to Donald Trump, has accused India of financing Russia’s war in Ukraine by continuing to purchase oil from Moscow. Speaking on Fox News, Miller called India’s near-parity with China in Russian oil imports “astonishing” and “not acceptable.” The Trump administration recently imposed a 25% tariff on Indian goods and threatened further penalties unless India halts its energy and arms trade with Russia. Despite mounting pressure, Indian officials reaffirmed their commitment to sourcing oil based on national interest and energy security. Miller acknowledged Trump’s “tremendous” relationship with Prime Minister Modi but emphasized that all diplomatic and financial options remain on the table to end the war. (PC: Mint & CNN)
