DMITROVSKY DISTRICT, MOSCOW OBLAST, AUG 11 – US tariffs impose a 50% duty on Indian purchases of Russian oil, significantly disrupting Moscow's economy ahead of Trump and Putin's scheduled Alaska meeting.
- On Monday, US President Donald Trump claimed that 50% duties on India’s purchases of Russian oil have significantly impacted Moscow’s economy.
- Targeting India, Trump pinpointed India’s energy purchases from Russia as a pressure point, describing it as one of Russia’s "largest or second-largest oil buyers."
- Industry figures show India received 1.6 million barrels per day of Russian oil last month, risking nearly 1% of its GDP this year.

- Ahead of the talks, Trump confirmed, 'Well, we're going to have a meeting with Vladimir Putin. And at the end of that meeting, probably in the first two minutes, I'll know exactly whether or not a deal can be made.
