Indians have made a lot of money by reselling Russian oil as middlemen. In the face of Trump's threat of secondary tariffs, they have also shown some backbone. This whole situation has really angered Trump, who took to Twitter to accuse India of profiting from reselling Russian oil and announced that he would significantly increase tariffs on goods exported from India to the United States, tying immigration policies with geopolitical issues.
U.S. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene came up with a bad idea online for Trump, suggesting that he should take action against H1B visas held by Indians in the U.S. because Indian applicants account for about 70% of recent quotas. Such threats could force India to adjust its position on Ukraine-Russia, as restrictions on H1-B visas by the U.S. would directly impact India's IT industry (India's IT sector earns about $150 billion annually from the U.S. market).
In fact, even if India stops acting as a middleman to resell Russian oil, others will still do it, such as some American companies buying liquefied natural gas from Russia and directly shipping it to Europe for profit.
