Russia Strikes Kyiv Injuring 10 as US House Introduces 100% Tariff Bill Over Russian Trade

The US House has passed a bill enabling 100% tariffs on nations purchasing Russian crude oil and gas, placing a spotlight on India and China.

While the legislation requires presidential approval before taking effect, it introduces fresh complications to ongoing India-US trade talks.

India maintains that its fuel procurement remains driven strictly by national interest and energy security, asserting it will not bow to external pressure.

Panellists discuss the broader geopolitical dynamics, including US diplomatic pressure on India regarding Russia, the impact of the BRICS summit, upcoming US midterm elections, and strategic maneuvering ahead of high-level bilateral engagements.
