Trump says India has offered to withdraw prices from American products

US President Donald Trump said India has proposed to reduce his prices “to nothing” when he called the current trade deadlock with the country “a completely unilateral disaster”.

American prices of 50% on India goods – which include 25% of Delhi’s refusal to stop buying Russia oil – entered into force last week.

India did not respond to Trump’s latest comment, but such a Russian oil war caused Delhi-Washington ties to reach a historic hollow.

Trump’s commentary coincides with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Moda Assisting the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in Tianjin where he met Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Washington says Delhi indirectly funded the Russian war in Ukraine.

“India buys most of its oil and military products from Russia, very little from the United States,” said Trump, adding that Delhi should have reduced prices “years ago”.

Delhi previously said that Russia’s oil supply was essential to meet the energy needs of its vast population.

He also described the “unjust, unjustified and unreasonable” prices.

Last week, the Minister of Commerce in the country, Piyush Goyal, said that India “will not bow or seem weak” in its economic relations with other countries.

He also said the country was ready to have a free trade agreement with anyone who wanted it.

Monday, Trump wrote: “What few people understand is that we do very little with India, but they do a lot of business with us. In other words, they sell us massive quantities of goods, their biggest” customer “, but we sell them very little – so far a completely unilateral relationship, and it has been for many decades”.

The United States was, until recently, India’s largest trading partner and prices have aroused fears that exports and growth in the fifth world economy can suffer.

At the top of the OCS, Modi was seen shaking Putin’s hand before a meeting organized by XI.

SCO, whose members include China, India, Iran, Pakistan and Russia, is considered a challenge for the domination of Trump and the United States worldwide.

Putin and Modi then spent 45 minutes inside the Russian leader’s car – after which Modi published a photo of their trip alongside the compliment to Putin.

The Indian Prime Minister said he had a “insightful” exchange with Putin.
