To spread: US President Donald Trump threatened India with duties through the purchase of Russian oil, the money from which is coming to the budget of the Russian Federation. In Moscow, such actions of the White House Head were called "trade pressure". Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the Russian Federation does not consider such statements legitimate, Reuters reports. "We hear many statements that are actually threats, attempts to force countries to break trade with Russia.

Regarding India's position, New Delhi called Trump's "unjustified" threats and promised to defend their economic interests, which further exacerbated trade contradictions between the two largest economies.

Two sources in the Indian government reported Reuters on the weekend that India will continue to buy oil in Russia, despite Trump's threats.

"It's not so easy to stop buying right away," one of them said.

Unlike Iranian and Venezuelan oil, Russian oil does not fall under direct sanctions, and India buys it below for the current price limit set by the European Union, - said the source. Earlier, Focus wrote that Trump motivated his decision to introduce new Duties of India by the fact that the money that the country pays for Russian oil is used for a bloody war. "India not only purchases huge volumes of Russian oil, but also sells most of this oil in the open market.
