Donald Trump News: The US President wants to end the Russia-Ukraine war. He is ready to go to any extent for this. That is why he is continuously taking steps against India and playing pressure politics. Donald Trump never 50 percent Tariff Sometimes it is said that India has stopped buying oil from Russia. He wants to somehow break Russia by making India bow down. He wants to break the friendship between India and Russia. But now Trump’s plan will fail. India has played such a game, due to which the influence of the American dollar will be reduced.
Actually, US President Donald Trump has imposed 50 percent tariff against India. Now India has also made a move by strengthening its strong energy partnership with Russia with a new strategy. India has made a ‘brilliant idea’ to reduce its dependence on the dollar. India is now paying for Russian crude not only in rubles but also in yuan. Yes, Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak himself has confirmed this. It is clear from his statement that India is now making most of the payment for Russian crude in rubles, while some part has also shifted to Chinese yuan. This move is not only a direct response to Trump’s tariff attack, but also part of a strategy to challenge the dollar’s monopoly in global trade.

Trump’s tariffs and India’s move

Trump had imposed 50 percent tariff on India in August 2025. The reason for this? India buying cheap oil from Russia. The White House argued that this oil purchase was providing indirect funding to Russia for the Ukraine war. Calling it a ‘trade imbalance’ and a ‘national security threat’, Trump had warned India to stop Russian oil, otherwise the tariff would be doubled. India has not accepted to bow down to Trump’s threat. India gave priority to its interests. This is the reason why India adopted a counter strategy instead of bowing down.

What did the Russian Deputy PM tell?

Russian Deputy PM Novak was quoted as saying that India has changed the payment for Russian oil from dollar to ruble-based. He said, ‘India is now making most of the payments in rubles, which is beneficial for our economy.’ He also said that India has started making some payments in Chinese currency Yuan. Although this percentage is still very low. Russia is one of the top crude oil suppliers to India. Even now India is at second place in terms of purchasing oil from Russia. China is at number one.

Trump shocked by India’s move?

In this way, this ‘game’ of India in response to Trump’s tariffs is a masterstroke to bypass the dollar. Ruble payment not only reduces the impact of US sanctions, but also strengthens Russia-India trade. The use of the yuan is a signal of warming relations with China, which provides a counter strategy to Trump’s ‘America First’ policy. If seen in a way, this step of India is also an alleged part of the de-dollarization campaign of BRICS countries. Anyway, PM Modi has repeatedly said that India will not come under anyone’s pressure and Swadeshi is India’s weapon.
