Russia has accused the United States of pursuing a “neocolonial” strategy through politically motivated tariffs, following President Donald Trump’s plan to raise duties on countries like India and Russia over oil trade, Firstpost reported.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said Washington is using economic pressure to maintain global dominance and punish nations that follow independent policies. She warned such actions threaten global trade and national sovereignty.
Russia pledged to strengthen ties with BRICS and Global South partners to resist Western sanctions and promote a fairer, multipolar world order, according to Firstpost.
