India’s Diplomatic Tightrope
India finds itself in a challenging position, balancing its relationships with both Moscow and Washington. For years, India has maintained strong ties with both nations, even amidst the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. However, recent developments have put this balancing act to the test.
Now, former President Donald Trump is urging India to make a definitive choice regarding its alliances. The pressure mounts as Trump threatens to impose tariffs on Indian goods unless the country aligns more closely with US interests. This situation complicates India’s access to affordable Russian oil, which has been crucial for its energy needs. As India navigates these geopolitical tensions, the world watches closely to see how it will respond to the competing demands of these powerful nations.
