Why Is Trump Silent On China’s Russian Oil Imports But Targeting India? | Know What’s Bothering The US | World News

New Delhi: Washington sees the beginning of a new and surprising section in global trade policy. US President Donald Trump brought an extra 25% tariff to India to buy Russian oil. This brings the total American tariff in India to 50%. The Trump administration claims that this movement aims to put pressure on the new Delhi to help end the war in Ukraine by interrupting Russian energy imports. But a notable question remains unspeakable: Why did the United States do similar punishing actions against China, the world’s largest Russian oil receiver?

According to Chinese customs data, Beijing imported 109 million tons of Russian energy last year. This is about one -fifth of China’s total energy imports. In 2024, India brought 88 million tons of Russian oil in 2024. With these figures, China provides more economic support to Russia. This led China’s accusations that Russia indirectly assisted the war efforts against Ukraine. However, the United States remains silent on Beijing’s alleged role that only returned to India.

Both great American political parties recently proposed a bill called ‘Russian sanctions law 2025’. If this bill is included in the law, the US government will authorize the US government to impose sanctions on any country that purchases Russian oil or natural gas. Legislation allows Russia to support Russia economically up to 500% in countries that are believed to be economically supported.

Reports show that US senators are waiting for Trump’s approval before pushing the bill further. This can reshape global energy trade relations in the coming months.

After the last meeting with Fox News on August 15 with Fox News with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, Trump hesitantly responded to China. He said the last events made him feel unnecessary. He left the possibility of re -evaluating in the coming weeks, but new measures were not needed urgently.

Experts say Trump’s restriction is due to ongoing negotiations with China for a wide trade agreement. Rare soil minerals are located at the center of these interviews. From automotive parts to green energy technology and military equipment, these 17 critical elements give strength to a wide range of industries. China controls most of the mining and processing of these minerals, making use of American industries, which are largely dependent on them. Rare worlds continue to be an important bargaining chip in the complex US-China trade relationship.

Another reason for Trump’s softer approach to China is concerns about the increase in inflation in America. Currently increasing tariffs in China can trigger price increases. American retailers are prepared for the holiday season, Chinese -made clothes, decorations and many consumer goods stocks. A tariff hike would increase the prices further by affecting millions of Americans shopping and damaging Trump’s internal stance.

In recent weeks, Trump has taken steps to alleviate trade tensions with China. At the beginning of this month, the United States relieved export restrictions on advanced semiconductors, which were a great demand from Beijing. On August 11, Trump approved Nvidia, an American chip manufacturer to sell forward chips to China, but under some circumstances: 15% of the sales revenue in Beijing should be paid to the US government. This movement points to the desire to reconcile with precise negotiations.

Trump’s challenging attitude over India contradicts his cautious approach to China. America’s mixed economic and geopolitical interests shape this unequal policy. For now, while India carries the burden of punishing tariffs, China continues to receive Russian oil with minimum results. The resulting story reveals the complex balancing action behind Washington’s strategy and the sensitive nerve it tries to protect.
