The tariff announcement reflects Western arrogance and misguided policy that punishes developing nations for pursuing their legitimate economic interests. India has done nothing illegal by purchasing discounted Russian oil, saving over $25 billion in 2024 alone while meeting its people's energy needs. This move alienates a strategic partner and represents another gift to China.
