New Delhi, India — Web Desk: The Indian opposition Congress party has alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent trade deal was made under pressure from the United States. According to Congress, revelations from the Epstein Files and US-imposed trade tariffs forced India to scale back purchases of cheap Russian oil, marking a significant retreat in India’s foreign and economic policy.
Congress leaders warn that Modi’s decision may have long-term negative impacts on India’s economy and diplomatic standing. They argue that yielding to external pressure reflects a weakened national stance and exposes vulnerabilities in India’s foreign policy strategy. Experts note that US statements on the trade deal have highlighted India’s reduced leverage on the global stage, raising questions about its sovereignty and strategic autonomy.
