These sources collectively portray India navigating a complex geopolitical and economic landscape on August 28th, 2025. Trade tensions with the U.S. escalated significantly due to new 50% tariffs linked to India's Russian oil purchases, prompting U.S. officials to mock the Indian rupee, though India plans to mitigate these impacts through domestic consumption and trade diversification. Concurrently, India is strengthening diplomatic ties with the EU, as evidenced by Prime Minister Modi's meeting with the Finnish President to discuss the Ukraine conflict and technological cooperation. Domestically, the nation is preparing for a three-day National Sports Day fitness campaign and celebrating the advancements of its defense start-up ecosystem, which is becoming crucial for national security.
