U.S. President Donald Trump, in an interview aboard Air Force One ahead of a summit with Vladimir Putin, stated: “If I have to do it, I’ll do it” regarding potential secondary tariffs targeting India’s ongoing oil imports from Russia—though he added, “maybe I won’t have to do it.” The Ministry of External Affairs swiftly condemned the prospect, labeling the U.S. action “unjustified and unreasonable” and reaffirming that India will “take all actions necessary to protect its national interests.” (PC: PTI)
