MEA criticised the US for imposing an additional 25% tariff, totalling 50%, on Indian goods due to its Russian oil imports, calling it "extremely unfortunate."

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Wednesday sharply criticised the United States for imposing additional tariffs on India in response to its continued purchase of oil from Russia, calling the move “extremely unfortunate”.

In a statement, the MEA said, “We have already made clear our position on these issues, including the fact that our imports are based on market factors and done with the overall objective of ensuring the energy security of 1.4 billion people of India. It is therefore extremely unfortunate that the US should choose to impose additional tariffs on India for actions that several other countries are also taking in their own national interest. We reiterate that these actions are unfair, unjustified and unreasonable. India will take all actions necessary to protect its national interests.”
