Trump slams India and China for 'funding' Putin's war in Ukraine by buying Russian oil
The Island
|September 25, 2025
United States President Donald Trump on Tuesday slammed India and China for “funding” Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine by purchasing Russian oil.
He addressed world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) for the first time since 2020. During his speech, Trump covered a wide range of topics, including the ongoing Israel-Gaza war, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and environmental issues.
Accusing India and China of funding Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine, which has now entered its fourth year, Trump said the two countries are the “primary funders” through their continued purchase of Russian oil.
His remarks followed an additional 25 per cent tariff imposed on India for its Russian crude oil purchases-China was excluded. Trump also urged the European Union and G7 leaders to impose sanctions on both nations.
