与其他国家的民众相比，如今印度社会对即将在阿拉斯加举行的美俄高层会谈格外关注。原因在于美国 财政部长贝森特此前向印度发出了极具威慑性的警告：如果此次会谈无法在乌克兰问题上取得实质性进 展，美国将对印度商品征收高达200%的惩罚性关税。这番话是在8月13日接受彭博社专访时直接抛出 的，不仅震惊了印度国内舆论，也迅速将美印关系推向前所未有的紧张局面。目前，美国已对部分印度 出口商品加征50%的关税，并明确计划在8月27日提升至75%，令印度商界忧心忡忡。 为缓解危机，莫迪政府正在推动"国货战略"，加大对出口商的政策支持，并借助品牌资产基金会实 施"品牌发展计划"，甚至公开呼吁民众积极消费印度本土产品，国内因此兴起了一股抵制美国产品的浪 潮。然而，这些举措能否真正缓和危机，仍然存在很大不确定性。值得注意的是，特朗普与普京将于8 月15日在安克雷奇会晤，讨论可能的停火与和解方案，这场会谈的结果将直接决定印度是否会面临 200%关税的沉重打击。 印度媒体透露，莫迪计划在9月赴美出席联合国大会，并争取与特朗普进行面对面会晤，这被外界普遍 解读为印度试图通过外交途径化解危机的最后努力。然而，美印谈判依然存在两大难题：一是美 ...

印度被特朗普吓得停买俄油，俄罗斯转头打折卖给中国，这场能源生意的枪声，比关税还响 注意，这可是在折扣价基础上再减1美元。国际市场的乌拉尔原油64到66美元一桶，这价一出，就是"白菜价"。俄方的意 思很直接：要货吗？量大管够。 画面换到中国。几家大型能源企业的办公室里，桌上摊着运费、油价、汇率的计算表。屏幕另一边，俄罗斯的交易员笑着 说："这一批，走北极航道，快。" 北方的港口，巨大的油轮像黑色的山，缓缓驶出。甲板湿漉漉的，海风带着盐味。几千公里外，中国的炼油厂早已预留了 储罐。 这批油进来能干嘛？加油站的汽油，工厂的化工原料，甚至外贸出口的塑料制品——都能从它身上榨出来。便宜的原油， 能压住企业的成本，也能稳住消费者的钱袋子。 而在外交牌桌上，这生意的意义更直接：印度退场，中国补位，美国的制裁打不穿俄罗斯的能源出口线。 美国不喜欢这种画面。它希望俄油被封死，俄罗斯现金流断裂，经济窒息。可现在，海上多了一条通往中国的通道。这条 线一旦跑顺，即便印度回头，也抢不走。俄罗斯会留着两个客户，以免被谁一家拿捏。 港口的吊机停着。油轮没靠岸。印度的炼油厂，静得能听到风声。 几天前，印度还在大口吞着俄罗斯原油。现在，船不来 ...

莫迪（资料图） 据多家媒体 8 月 2 日报道，尽管美国总统特朗普威胁将对印度购买俄罗斯能源产品等行为实施 "惩罚"，印度方面仍然表示，将继续从俄罗斯进口石油。印 度炼油企业仍在继续购买俄罗斯原油，这是由价格和运输等经济因素决定的。 莫迪（资料图） 近期，有消息称 4 艘满载俄罗斯原油的油轮正驶向印度近海，这一动态再度将印度购买俄罗斯原油一事推至国际舆论的风口浪尖。印度在美俄之间的能源抉 择，不仅关乎自身经济发展，更对国际地缘政治与能源格局产生深远影响 。特朗普 7 月 30 日曾威胁称，如果印度不停止进口俄罗斯石油，将对印度施加惩 罚性措施。然而，印度并未因美国的威胁而改变其进口俄罗斯原油的策略。印度政府消息人士明确证实，印度炼油企业持续购买俄罗斯原油，全然不顾美国 方面的施压。 印度坚持购买俄罗斯原油，首要因素是经济利益的强大驱动 。在俄乌冲突爆发之后，俄罗斯石油因西方制裁，在国际市场上面临困境，不得不以更具吸引 力的价格寻求买家。印度敏锐地捕捉到这一市场变化，果断加大从俄罗斯的石油进口量。有数据显示，在 2022/2023 财年（2022 年 4 月到 2023 年 3 月）， 印度平均每天从俄罗斯进口 ...
