<h1>U.S. trade official accuses Indian leaders, firms of profiteering from Russian oil; defends reciprocal 25% tariffs</h1> A senior U.S. trade official publicly accused the Indian leadership and domestic economic actors of profiteering from purchases of Russian oil and called for such practices to stop, while defending U.S. reciprocal tariffs - a 25% general tariff plus an additional 25% on Russian oil imports - imposed amid a bilateral trade dispute. India characterized the tariffs as unjustified and maintains its energy purchases are driven by national interest and market dynamics. The statements escalate political rhetoric in an ongoing trade conflict that involves tariff measures and competing allegations about the effects of oil purchases on the Russia-Ukraine war.
