Amid Donald Trump’s tariff threats, the Indian Army’s Eastern Command posted a 1971 newspaper clip revealing decades of US military support to Pakistan. The article, dated August 5, 1971, highlighted the shipment of $2 billion in arms from the US to Pakistan since 1954. This post follows Trump’s criticism of India’s Russian oil imports. India countered, slamming the US and EU for “unjustified” targeting while they continue trading with Russia. The MEA said India’s energy imports are essential and pointed to the West’s double standards. India vowed to safeguard its economic security and national interest against biased accusations.
