India clarified factors that determine the sourcing of energy for the country. The government's remarks came after Donald Trump's attack for buying Russian oil.

WASHINGTON D.C. -A 25% tariff on Indian imports, along with an unspecified penalty, is set to go into effect today, August 1. The move, communicated via a social media post by President Donald Trump comes amid U.S. frustration with India’s trade practices and its continued purchase of Russian oil.

India has bought a nearly constant flow of Russian oil for the past two years. Prices fluctuated, but each year’s sales have been worth approximately $275 billion. Iraq and Saudi Arabia, traditionally India’s biggest suppliers, have been pushed to the side.
