'It's disgusting': Donald Trump warns Russia of new sanctions over Ukraine war; says this about Vladimir Putin
"Russia -- I think it's disgusting what they're doing. I think it's disgusting," AFP quoted Trump saying.
"We're going to put sanctions. I don't know that sanctions bother him," he said.
This comes after Trump lashed out at India for its relationship with Russia. 'I don't care what India does with Russia,' Trump said. 'They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care. We have done very little business with India, their Tariffs are too high, among the highest in the World.
Likewise, Russia and the USA do almost no business together. Let's keep it that way.'
Trump shortened the 50-day deadline he gave Putin to end the war in Ukraine, citing frustration over failed ceasefire efforts. Speaking in Scotland, Trump said he would now give only 10–12 days, accusing Putin of continued aggression.
Ukraine has welcomed Trump's tougher stance, while his threat of severe secondary tariffs on Russia and its trading partners—like India and China—raises the stakes globally. Trump said the change in timeline came after repeated ceasefire breakdowns and continued civilian casualties.

Stock market today: Trade setup for Nifty 50, Trump tariffs, Q1 results today; 7 stocks to buy or sell on Thursday
Stock market today: The benchmark Nifty-50 index ended another weaker trading session on Wednesday with a 0.3% decline at 24,574.20. The Bank Nifty at 55,411.15 ended marginally higher after the RBI maintained the policy rate, which remained unchanged, and the stance neutral, while Realty, Pharma, and IT emerged as the top losers. The broader indices also ended nearly one percent lower. On the downside, 24,500 for the Nifty-50 index continues to be a promising support zone, while 24,700 would act as a crucial resistance area for the bulls. Above 24,700, the pullback is likely to continue up to 24,850–24,900, said Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research, Kotak Securities. The Bank Nifty index is nearing a crucial support zone between 55,200 and 54,900, as per Bajaj Broking. As expected, the RBI maintained a neutral stance and kept policy rates unchanged, acknowledging global headwinds while emphasizing India's domestic resilience, fiscal prudence, and strong rural demand. The inflation outlook has turned more favorable, supported by a good monsoon and healthy kharif sowing. In anticipation of improvement in consumption, private investment, and continued government-led capex, the domestic economy appears well-positioned for a better second half, reinforcing investor confidence despite external uncertainties, said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited. Donald Trump announced an additional 25% tariff on India as a "penalty" for its continued import of Russian crude oil, while pledging similar measures against other nations that buy Russian energy and thereby fund Moscow's cash-strapped war effort in Ukraine. The new tariff applies to goods entered into the U.S. 21 days from Aug 6, 2025 (except shipments already in transit before the deadline, which must arrive before Sept 17, 2025. Trump's latest tariff offensive brings total duties on Indian imports into the United States to 50% —20% higher than the tariff on China and 21 percentage points above that imposed on Pakistan. 'We expect the markets to fall by 1-2% in a knee-jerk reaction, but most would expect a resolution of the same.

Trump doubles tariff on India for Russian crude oil imports; what does it mean for Indian stock market?
US President Donald Trump has imposed an additional 25% tariff on Indian imports as a 'penalty' for New Delhi's continued purchase of Russian crude oil. This move takes the total US tariff burden on Indian exports to 50% — 20% higher than that on Chinese goods — significantly denting India's export competitiveness. The new tariff structure, announced late Wednesday, will come into effect after a 21-day grace period, starting August 27, 2025. While this window leaves room for a negotiated resolution, the options appear limited for both sides. 'We expect the markets to fall by 1-2% in a knee-jerk reaction, but most would expect a resolution of the same,' said Dhiraj Relli, MD & CEO of HDFC Securities. He estimates that if the tariffs remain in place for a full year, India's GDP could take a 30 – 40 basis point hit. Export-oriented sectors such as IT services, textiles, engineering goods, pharmaceuticals, and auto components are expected to bear the brunt. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs from India could trigger a wider US–India trade conflict, he added. 'Market participants will hope that these negotiations will resolve the issue before the actual implementation of the duties,' Relli said. According to Seshadri Sen, Head of Research and Strategist at Emkay Global Financial Services Ltd, the 21-day buffer period leaves open the possibility of sectoral exemptions or negotiated relief. 'As it stands, this could bring exports from affected sectors - textiles, jewelry, auto ancillaries - to a standstill and hurt some of India's labor-intensive sectors. We, however, see the broader economy staying resilient and remain convinced of a 2HFY26 consumption-led recovery,' Sen said. He advises investors to buy the dip if market correction exceeds 5%, given the limited direct earnings impact on the listed universe and more attractive valuations below long-term averages. Sen identifies the most sectors and stocks impacted by the US tariffs: Textiles: Gokaldas Exports, Kitex Garments Chemicals: Camlin Fine Sciences, Aarti Industries, Atul Ltd Auto Ancillaries: Bharat Forge, Suprajit Engineering, Sona BLW Precision Forgings If India cuts Russian crude imports as part of the settlement, Reliance Industries and the oil marketing companies (OMCs) are vulnerable – also, crude prices could spike, he added. Pharmaceuticals and electronic manufacturing services (EMS) appear to be exempt from the tariff list for now. However, Sen cautions that sentiment around EMS stocks could be impacted depending on an announcement from Apple. Sen outlines a cautious yet opportunistic investment strategy: 1. Look through the near-term volatility. 'Trying to trade this uncertainty is highly risky. There are multiple variables at play – renegotiated tariffs, sectoral carve-outs and carve-ins, and India slowing Russian oil imports.' 2. Minimize exposure to export-oriented and globally exposed sectors. 'Even if the final trade agreement is not as bad as it appears now, a sharp slowdown in the global economy looks inevitable' 3. Buy the dip: If the market correction goes above 5% from here, valuations would then be comfortable at well below the LTA and, the direct impact on the listed universe earnings is negligible. Also, this does not impede India's 2HFY26 cyclical growth recovery, which is largely driven by domestic impulses. 4. Stick to sector preferences: Emkay maintains an overweight (OW) stance on Consumer Discretionary and Industrials, and an underweight (UW) view on Financials, Technology, and Consumer Staples.

‘Why single out India?': Trump's reply sparks sanctions buzz over Russian oil question
US President Trump was asked why India is being singled out for buying Russian oil when countries like China are doing the same. The Indian side had pushed back with, 'Why single out India?' Trump casually replied, 'It's okay,' adding, 'It's only been eight hours... let's see what happens.' He hinted at more drama ahead and warned of 'a lot more secondary sanctions,' without naming any country. Show more Show less
