At the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a sharp rebuke at the Trump administration’s tariff strategy, particularly targeting India and China. He insisted these nations are sovereign, powerful partners—not subjects of economic coercion—asserting, "The colonial era is now over" and emphasizing that such heavy-handed diplomacy is outdated. Putin said the tariffs aim to weaken the leadership of these giant economies, warning that any show of weakness could imperil political careers . He also expressed appreciation for India’s efforts, alongside China and other strategic allies, in seeking a peaceful resolution to the Ukraine crisis. (PC: India Today)
