US President Donald Trump has once again started making noise about tariffs. Trump on India's Russian oil imports: US President Donald Trump said that he actually wanted to make me happy. PM Modi is a very good person. He is also a good person. Trump said he knew I was not happy. It is important for them to make me happy. If they trade, we can increase tariffs on them very quickly.
India's Russian oil imports reached a six-month high in terms of both volume and value in November 2025, according to new official data. With this, its share in India's total oil imports increased to 35%. This has happened at a time when little or no progress has been seen in finalizing India's trade agreement with the US. However, at the same time, India has also increased the purchase of American oil. This increase was the highest in seven months in November 2025. America's share in India's oil imports this month was about 13%.
