Poland Backs India Amid US Tariff Threat Over Russian Oil Cuts

  • Poland's Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski expressed satisfaction with India's reduced Russian oil imports, calling it a move against "Putin's war machine."
  • Sikorski's remarks came during the first India-Weimar format meeting, focusing on India-EU ties, Indo-Pacific challenges, and the Ukraine conflict.
  • US President Donald Trump has "greenlit" a bipartisan Russia sanctions bill, potentially allowing tariffs up to 500% on countries buying Russian oil or uranium.
  • Trump previously imposed 50% tariffs on Indian imports and warned of further escalation, stating PM Modi "knew I was not happy."
  • India maintains its energy purchases, including Russian oil, are guided by national interest and energy security, rejecting claims of promising to stop.

Why It Matters: Poland supports India's reduced Russian oil imports as US tariff threats escalate over energy purchases.
