Spain Says NATO Spat Didn't Prompt Exclusion From Ukraine Talks
Spain's top diplomat dismissed a suggestion that the nation's failure to commit to a revised NATO spending target was the reason for its absence from this week's talks to discuss Russia's war on Ukraine. 'Spain is a very committed ally,' Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares said Tuesday in an interview with Bloomberg TV. He said he'd received no indication that failure to commit to the NATO goal was in any way linked to Spain's omission from Monday's meeting in Washington between European leaders, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and US President Donald Trump. The gathering was seen as a win for western allies attempting to steer Trump away from a quick deal at Ukraine's expense — something that appeared more likely after he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska last week. US and European officials will immediately work on providing Ukraine with robust security guarantees to help bolster the country's armed forces, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg Tuesday. The aim is to prevent Russia demanding restrictions on the size of Kyiv's military as part of a future agreement to end the war, the people said. In his Bloomberg TV interview, Albares said reinforcing Ukraine's army is the best security guarantee available given 'the reality on the ground.' 'That's what we are doing: providing military equipment to make sure that the Ukrainian army is capable of guaranteeing sovereignty and territorial integrity,' he added. 'We need a ceasefire first of all,' he said, at the same time cautioning that 'Russia has given no sign of being in good faith engaged in real conversation for a just and lasting peace.' In June, Spain raised hackles among some NATO allies by seeking an exemption from the military alliance's new target of committing 5% of gross domestic product to defense. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's government argued that its spending plans are sufficient to meet NATO needs. Trump subsequently threatened Spain with tariffs twice as high as the rest of the European Union, but hasn't followed through.

Trump admin turns up the heat as Treasury secretary calls India's Russian oil purchase ‘unacceptable'
Ratcheting up pressure on India, another Trump administration official has criticised the country for its ties with Russia. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC in an interview that 'Indian arbitrage of Russian oil is unacceptable,' underlining Washington's stand that New Delhi was fuelling Moscow's 'war machine,' Reuters reported. 'This … Indian arbitrage – buying cheap Russian oil, reselling it as product has just sprung during the war – which is unacceptable,' he said. The US earlier this month slapped 50 per cent tariffs on India, half of them for buying Russian oil, catapulting the country to one facing the highest import duties among Washington's trade partners. New Delhi called the tariff action 'unfair, unjustified and unreasonable', and said it would take 'all actions necessary' to 'protect its national interests'. India is the world's third-largest consumer of crude oil and meets 88 per cent of its oil demand from imports. Before Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Moscow's share in New Delhi's oil imports was less than 2 per cent. That has now risen to nearly 40 per cent. Higher tariff revenue to be used to pay down federal debt Bessent said that he expected a substantial increase in tariff revenues from the $300 billion he forecast earlier this year, with the money to be used to start paying down the US federal debt, Reuters reported. He declined to give a specific new revenue forecast, but said he and President Donald Trump were 'laser-focused' on paying down the debt. 'I've been saying that tariff revenue could be $300 billion this year. I'm going to have to revise that up substantially,' he said. India should start 'acting' like strategic partner: Trump aide Bessent's comments came close on the heels of White House trade advisor Peter Navarro saying that India needed to start acting like a strategic partner of the US if it wanted to be treated like one. 'India acts as a global clearinghouse for Russian oil, converting embargoed crude into high-value exports while giving Moscow the dollars it needs,' he wrote. Navarro also claimed in an opinion piece in the Financial Times that India was 'now cozying up to both Russia and China'. Navarro wrote: 'Here's how the India-Russia oil mathematics works. American consumers buy Indian goods. India uses those dollars to buy discounted Russian crude. That Russian crude is refined and resold around the world by Indian profiteers in league with silent Russian partners — while Russia pockets hard currency to fund its war machine in Ukraine. As Russia continues to hammer Ukraine, helped by India's financial support, American (and European) taxpayers are then forced to spend tens of billions more to help Ukraine's defence.'
