New Delhi pointed out the EU and the U.S.' trade relationship with Moscow. India said it was being "targeted" by the U.S. and the European Union over its imports of Russian oil after U.S. President Donald Trump in an overnight social media post threatened New Delhi with much steeper tariffs.

A U.S. India trade expert describes how the relationship is souring over President Donald Trump's 25% tariffs and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's plan to continuing buying Russian oil.

American businesses and consumers are already feeling the squeeze from President Donald Trump’s trade war, more tariffs are expected later this week.
