President Donald Trump used his address to the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday to demand that allies halt purchases of Russian energy, warning of new tariffs on countries that refused. He named India and Turkey among the buyers he criticised.

The speech came during the high-level general debate week, when Trump has repeatedly clashed with the world body. Earlier in the week he attacked the UN over funding and defended his administration's sanctions on the International Criminal Court, drawing rebukes from European delegations.

Trump tied the energy demand to stalled efforts to end the war in Ukraine, arguing that continued Russian oil revenue was financing Moscow's military. He said the United States would impose secondary tariffs on nations that did not curb imports, echoing measures his administration levied on Indian goods earlier this year.

Representatives from India's delegation rejected the pressure, defending New Delhi's purchases as necessary for its energy security. French and German diplomats said they supported reducing dependence on Russian supplies but cautioned against unilateral American tariffs that could fracture the coalition backing Kyiv.

The address deepened tensions between Washington and several partners during a week already marked by the revocation of Colombian President Gustavo Petro's US visa. Diplomats said the confrontational tone left little room for the consensus Trump claimed to seek on ending the war.
