Raghuram Rajan Claims US Tariffs on India Linked to Trump's Ego, Not Russian Oil Imports
Dec 10, 2025 10:53 am CST
Former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan suggests that the Trump administration's 50% tariffs on Indian goods were primarily motivated by India's refusal to credit Donald Trump for the May ceasefire with Pakistan following Operation Sindoor, rather than India's Russian oil purchases.

Rajan's comments have sparked significant backlash on social media, with many users defending India's stance as protecting national interests over political appeasement.
