Washington: US President Donald Trump, in a sharp statement following the imposition of a 25 percent tariff on Indian goods, criticised India\u2019s trade practices and dismissed concerns over its ties with Russia.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have done very little business with India. Their tariffs are very high, among the highest in the world,\u201d Trump said. He reiterated that he was not concerned about India’s dealings with Moscow, adding, \u201cI don\u2019t care what India does to Russia. I don\u2019t even care how they can collapse their lifeless economies together.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump also targeted Russia, remarking, \u201cRussia and the US do almost no business together. Let\u2019s keep it that way.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a veiled warning to Russian officials, he said, \u201cAsk Russia\u2019s failed former president Dmitry Medvedev, who still considers himself president, to pay attention to his words. He is entering a very dangerous area.\u201d<\/p>\n
The remarks come amid growing scrutiny of India\u2019s continued military and economic ties with Russia, despite Western pressure following Moscow\u2019s actions in Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
