A top White House aide to U.S. President Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, sparked controversy on August 3 by accusing India of indirectly financing Russia’s war in Ukraine through its Russian oil imports. Miller noted that India is now nearly tied with China as one of Moscow’s key oil customers and declared it “not acceptable” for India to keep these purchases going. The strong rhetoric comes as Trump has ramped up pressure on New Delhi, recently imposing a 25% tariff on Indian exports to the U.S. and threatening even tougher sanctions if India doesn’t curb Russian trade. Despite the criticism, Indian officials and trade data show India continues to buy oil from multiple countries based on best market prices, while also increasing purchases from the U.S. The U.S. stance has drawn attention to European allies like Slovakia and Hungary, who are themselves resisting EU efforts to fully phase out Russian energy by 2027. India, for its part, argues its energy policies are determined by national interest and market conditions, a position repeatedly stated by Foreign Minister Jaishankar, who has also highlighted that European nations collectively purchase more Russian energy than India.

Why America is purchasing ⛽fuels,steel, fertilizers and chemicals from Russia ……. How idiotic was dis…… Hypocrisy
Indians are most hardworking people in America
Dear america ,
First you stop your trade from russia
Second ,you entered in the market from where india was buying oil and bought the oil from there and because of that we were forced to diversify our oil purchase to russia and other countries
We r not your friends! Asif muin terrorist your friend
A west didn't understand the meaning of friendship, even trump betrayed own best friend elon musk,🤡
First US should stop doing business with Russia.
Proved once again US is not a good friend to any country..Selfish fellow for bread and butter.
One question to US

One more question from ordinary indian citizen to Donald Trump sir, Do you not know what you import in your country, but you know an American businessman how to make to tax worldwide countries. This is the question of Indian ordinary man. How did the American people choose you?
One wishes Miller and the likes gather all facts before mouthing off on the idiot box. Eric Garcetti, the ex U. S. Ambassador to Bharat said on TV that the U. S. encouraged Bharat on its Russian oil purchases to keep the global oil prices from spiking. That, in 2024, Europe's Russian imports were $67 billion, and even the U. S. imported $3 billion worth of Russian minerals. Miller, go back and do some fact gathering man!
Americans will piss in their pants if BRICS start moving

Go and suck yourself don't preach us what to do
Trump showcases his insecurities from time to time against India Russia and all other such countries which he feels would surpass him and the US.. He is a true form of modern narcissist who tries hard to control other countries.. and I don't get this thing why don't other countries ban him on the contrary from all deals!!
America is responsible for all the wars around the world and then they ask for a so-called noble peace price. The whole world is suffering because of US self centred decision
Dump the Trump.
Donald tariffs
Hey what do you think, we are Pakistan, we know what to do If I don't come to my senses then you will make America great, do you also know what will happen again Russian is my friend, in 1971 you were with Pakistan, you are still with us and we know what to do, so chill. 😂😂😂😂
DO WE GIVE A FUCK? FUCK YOUR PRODUCTS! AMERICA IS A FRIEND OF NO BLOODY ONE ……..TIME TO CHANGE THE WORLD'S ORDER:)😊
Says a bald man 😂😂😂 no one takes white bald man seriously
Now I understand why American women chose Bear than their men.
At one point, the United States imposed a 25% tariff on India
Along with it came a set of tough conditions
But India didn’t comply
It didn’t bow down
It stood firm — for its people and its principles
Later, an even steeper 50% tariff was imposed
Yet India kept its spine straight
It did not compromise — not even an inch — on national interest
This is what real state courage looks like
Not submission to power
But protection of dignity and sovereignty
Meanwhile, some leaders elsewhere
Have chosen to accept foreign terms just to cling to power
And that path might lead to
An attack on sovereignty
Hardships for the people
And a call from powers — not today, but perhaps tomorrow
Let’s not forget —
Russia, for all its flaws, stands by its allies
It doesn’t betray in the name of convenience
The U.S., on the other hand, too often acts in its own interest
It doesn’t serve its friends — it uses them
And once done, it moves on
Has India shown the world what strategic independence looks like?
And in your view — who is more reliable: Russia or the U.S.?জ
India thinks us Americans don’t know how colossal their trade barriers are against our products. Now they’re getting a taste of their own medicine
Boycott America. Dump the Dollar.
Another Yankee mo**n
Bastards what about you fund Ukraine? Are you the only people who are eligible to live in this planet? Do you want to dictate terms?
Dear american, stop calling india your friend ok
We are all indians russias fraind ok
We Indians hate America. We love Russia 🇷🇺 and Russian people .❤ We don't need US as friend.
US was never India’s friend. Russia has always stood by India. How much of Russian oil EU and US themselves buy from Russia? Get rid of your colonial mindset and white arrogance, and Trump is an idiot!
The level of diplomatic talk in the USA is extremely poor…
KKK AMERICANS AND EU- stop the %#% BS! U think u can dictate India?!
Never ever trust the Indians, all they want is visas, they are cunning crafty opportunistic invaders
The world should get rid of US bloody upstart and their arrogance.
US hypocrisy
"Its not acceptable that india purchase its 38% oil from Russian but it is is acceptable when europe purchase 57% of the Russian gas and we american can purchase fertilizer, nuclear fuel, etc bcoz its in America's interest"… As an indian i just want to say….. Go fu&# yourself.
What about Uranium which USA acquire from Moscow.
india is grateful to america and trump by not cooperating to INDIA and imposing tariffs india successfully making friendship with CHINA and exploring possibilities to do buisinness with latin american and african countries. India never fully believed america and west as they were supporting pakistan all along to trouble INDIA. now it is crystal clear that west and america are our enemies and they hate our progress. let us grow slowly and steadily.
These hypocrites are like parasites 😂
India's Foreign Minister says, energy Europe buys from Russia in 30 minutes, India buys in a day.
EU is your friend and you have made them invested 500 billion dollars in your country and India as your strategic partner so you should invest $500 billion dollar first in India then claim strategic partnership without that India will enjoy the strategic autonomy in the world
