印度硬刚美国，苏杰生怼美：25%关税不怕，34%俄油进口绝不减！

Core Viewpoint - The relationship between the US and India has deteriorated significantly since the Trump administration imposed a secondary tariff on India, aiming to penalize India for purchasing Russian oil, while India resists US hegemony [1][3]. US Punitive Measures - In August, the Trump administration announced a 25% secondary tariff on India due to its purchase of Russian oil, which India strongly opposed, claiming it was an unreasonable act lacking fairness [3][5]. - The US views India's purchase of Russian oil as aiding Russia and providing military support, especially as Trump seeks to take credit for facilitating a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine conflict [3][5]. India's Response - Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar stated that India is not afraid of the additional tariffs and will not abandon its plans to import Russian oil [1][8]. - Jaishankar emphasized that India's interests, particularly those of farmers and small producers, are non-negotiable, and as long as the US does not cross this line, negotiations can continue [8][10]. - He also pointed out that European countries engage in more trade with Russia than India, suggesting that the US is unfairly targeting India [8][10]. India's Strategic Intent - India views the US as its primary partner, despite considering China a competitor, and aims to balance its relationships with major powers without becoming a subordinate to the US [12][14]. - The strategy involves leveraging relationships with multiple powers, including Russia, to safeguard its interests [12][14]. - Jaishankar's remarks about potential cooperation with China serve as a reminder to the US of India's strategic importance in the Indo-Pacific region [10][14]. US Intentions - The US is frustrated with India's balancing act and seeks to pressure India into aligning more closely with its interests, which aligns with the US Indo-Pacific strategy [16][18]. - The US applies double standards, being less aggressive towards European allies who also import Russian energy, while targeting India more harshly [16][18]. Conclusion - India's actions serve as a wake-up call for many developing countries to prioritize their interests in the face of US pressure and to stand up against hegemony [20]. - The US may face significant consequences for its tariff policies, which could backfire and lead to a stronger resistance from India [20].
