External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar took a jibe at the United States and Europe over tariffs on India, saying nobody had forced anyone to purchase refined oil or products from India.

Speaking at the Economic Times World Leaders Forum 2025, Jaishankar said, “It’s funny to have people who work for a pro-business American administration accusing other people of doing business. If you have a problem buying oil or refined products from India, don’t buy it. Nobody forces you to buy it. Europe buys, America buys, so you don’t like it, don’t buy it.”
