Trump Signs Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act Affecting India, Opposition Urges Resistance
US President Donald Trump signed the Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act, authorizing tariffs up to 100% on Russian energy buyers, including India and China. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh urged forceful resistance against what he called a 'bully.' Opposition voices, such as NCP's Mahesh Tapase, criticized the Modi government's handling of US-India ties and potential economic impacts. The law grants Trump broad discretion over tariff implementation and takes effect within 30 days, raising concerns about India's energy imports and export sectors.
