自从特朗普政府决定对印度实行二级关税以来，美印关系急转直下，美国希望印度为其购买俄罗斯原油 付出代价，印度则是抗拒美国霸权。 近期印度更是选择硬刚美国，其外长苏杰生表示，针对美国额外加的25%关税，印度并不惧怕，不仅如 此，进口俄罗斯原油的计划也不会搁置。 那么具体事态究竟是如何发展的呢？ 美国的惩罚措施 今年8月份开始，特朗普政府针对印度购买俄罗斯原油一事，计划对印度加征25%的二级关税，此举引 发了印度的强烈反对。 只是美国忘了一个重要的因素，无论是印度没必要为了讨好美国而放弃价格低廉的货物，而去选择价格 普遍高昂的，这样既不符合自身发展需求，也缺乏公平与公正。 印度的回怼 此前针对美国的二级关税政策印度外长苏杰生就曾表示过，尽管美印之间依旧还处于谈判阶段，但印度 有自己的红线，会根据自身利益做出抉择。 苏杰生的态度十分强硬，农民与小生产者的利益能否得到保障，一直是印度的底线问题，只要美国不触 碰这个红线，那么美印之间就有的谈。 印度表示美国这种行为，是缺乏公平、公正的不合理行为，印度有保护自身合法权益不受侵犯的权利， 并且会为之努力。 之于美国而言，他们认为印度购买俄罗斯原油就是在帮助俄罗斯，为俄罗斯提 ...
