On Monday, US President Donald Trump hit the Ministry of External Affairs that it would “significantly increase” tariffs to Indian exports to the US to buy Russian oil of the new Delhi. Mea said that India’s targeting is unjustified and disproportionate.
India will take all the necessary measures to protect its national interests and economic security, the ministry said in its statement.
Previously on the day, on his social platform of truth, Trump said: “India not only buys a huge amount of Russian oil, but for most of the purchased oil selling it on an open market for big profits.”
“They don’t care how many people in Ukraine are killed by a Russian war machine. For this reason, I will significantly increase the tariff paid by India to the US,” he added.
In his post, however, Trump did not specify how much he would raise a fee.
India, which responded to the remark of the US President, said the United States and the European Union focused on importing oil from Russia after the opening of Ukraine’s conflict.
“India began to import from Russia because traditional reserves were diverted to Europe after the outbreak. At that time, the United States actively supported such imports of India to strengthen the stability of global energy markets,” Mea said.
Here’s what mea said
– Indian imports are to ensure predictable and available energy costs to the Indian consumer. They are a need for forced situations in the global market. However, they find that nations that criticize India themselves indulge in trade with Russia. Unlike our case, such a trade is not a vital national donut.
-Europe-Russia includes not only energy but also fertilizers, mining products, chemicals, iron and steel and machines and transport equipment.
– As for the United States, it continues to import from Russian uranium hexafluoride for its nuclear industry, Palladium for its industry EV, fertilizers and chemicals.
