Donald Trump threatens India with ‘penalty’ over Russia ties | BBC News

US President Donald Trump threatened India with an unspecified penalty over its military and trade ties with Russia, part of his push for a ceasefire in Ukraine. The sanctions would add to the 25% tariffs announced earlier this week, effective 1 August. India imports more than half of its military equipment from Russia, and Russia supplies 35% of its oil in 2025. The Security Brief’s Mikey Kay, former senior officer in the British military, explains the nature of the two‑country arms relationship and the role other nations play in Russia’s arsenal.
