US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he had yet imposed an early restrictions on India to buy Russian oil and indicated that he had not yet imposed restrictions under “Phase Two or Phase Three”.
Trump got angry while attending a bilateral meeting at the Oval Office with Poland President Karol Navarki when a Polish journalist asked him that he had expressed disappointment and frustration to Russian President Vladimir Putin, but did not take any action in this regard.
Trump told the Polish journalist, “How do you know that no action was taken?” After China, the biggest buyer banned India, would you say that no action was taken? This led to a loss of hundreds of billion dollars to Russia. Will you not call it any action? And I have not completed the second or third phase so far. But when you say no action is taken, I think you should find a new job. ”
Trump said that two weeks ago, he said, “If India buys oil, India will have big problems, and that is what happens.” So, don’t tell me about it. “When he was questioned about the presence of Chinese President Xi Chinfing with Putin and North Korea leader Kim Jong Un in China’s military parade and asked if he is considering imposing a secondary ban on Moscow, Trump said,” I have already done so in relation to India and we are doing so in relation to other things. ”
Trump has imposed a 25 percent tariff (fee) on India and India has imposed an additional 25 percent fee on the purchase of Russian oil, causing the total fee levied on India to 50 percent and the fee has become effective from August 27. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that he cannot compromise on the interests of farmers, cattle rearers, small scale industries. He warned that “the pressure on us may increase, but we will bear it.”
India described the tariff imposed by the US as “inappropriate”. India said that like any major economy, it will take all necessary steps to protect its national interests and economic security.
