The Kremlin denounced the threats on Tuesday considered “illegitimate” of Donald Trump aimed at recharging products from India, a partner of Moscow whom the US president accuses of buying Russian oil in “large quantities.” The American leader threatened Monday for “significantly” the 25% surcharge that plans to establish products from India, the second Russian oil buyer after China.
“We believe that sovereign countries have the right to choose their own business partners,” he added. The products of dozens of commercial partners of the United States, including the European Union and India, must be affected by a new surcharge on Thursday, on behalf of rebuilding the exchanges desired by the US President. Customs tasks scheduled for India are currently 25%.
The Indians “do not care about the number of people killed in Ukraine” accuses Trump
But Donald Trump warned that he wanted to impose the so -called “secondary” sanctions, that is, inflicted in countries that buy Russian oil, under sanctions, to dry this essential source of income for Moscow. The Indians “do not care about the number of people who are killed in Ukraine by the Russian war machine,” American leader said on a message on his social social platform.
Donald Trump had already criticized India for his purchases of Russian hydrocarbons and weapons. The US president also gave his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin until Friday to stop his offensive in Ukraine, under a penalty of new unspecified sanctions.
