US President Trump has threatened sweeping secondary sanctions to pressure Russia, signaling a sharp escalation. The proposed penalties — up to 100% — would hit any country or company doing business with Moscow. This move puts India at risk, as it imports over two million barrels of Russian oil daily and relies on Russian defense equipment like the S-400 missile system. The plan echoes Trump’s Iran policy, which earlier forced India to stop buying Iranian oil. As Washington’s frustration with New Delhi’s balancing act grows, India’s strategic autonomy faces a serious test amid rising global tensions.
