India has lashed out at the United States and the European Union, criticising what it described as "double standards" over their trade relations with Russia, after US President Donald Trump threatened to impose higher tariffs on Indian goods due to New Delhi's continued import of Russian oil.
"The countries criticising India are themselves engaged in trade with Russia," India's Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement on Monday evening, adding that "it is unjustified to target India alone".
