I have a theory that the tarrifs on India are not related to Ukraine issue at all. It is one among many other concessions being granted to TSP. TSPA is itching for revenge after operation sindoor. US is trying to create the ideal situation inside and outside India for a regime change. US tariffs, conflict with TSP armed with US tech and internal protests lead by pappu and BIF are all being brought together. Ukraine and Russia are just a cover for doing their dirty work against India.

India's Russian crude buying has to stop, US adviser Navarro says - Reuters
White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said India's purchases of Russian crude were funding Moscow's war in Ukraine and had to stop, adding that New Delhi was "now cozying up to both Russia and China."

"If India wants to be treated as a strategic partner of the U.S., it needs to start acting like one," Navarro wrote in an opinion piece published in the Financial Times.

"India acts as a global clearinghouse for Russian oil, converting embargoed crude into high-value exports while giving Moscow the dollars it needs," Navarro said.

The adviser also said it was risky to transfer cutting-edge U.S. military capabilities to India as New Delhi was "now cozying up to both Russia and China."

India is still seen as a "soft" state.
America only understands power. So they think they can do whatever they want.

This is the reason for sanctions on India

PM was clear in his message, the issue with the U.S is that of market access for their farm produce, dairy and fisheries. Once the U.S realized the govt is not going to compromise on it, they brought in the Russian oil issue. This is just a start, the Opposition in India is in the process of undermining democratic institutions and elections. Next accusation from the U.S will be India under Modi is not a democracy. That's where we are headed as far as India-U.S relationship is concerned.
