🇮🇳🤝🇺🇸 “Two Great Nations Will Solve This” – #TRUMP Team On India Tariffs🪙
💬 US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent remains hopeful that trade tensions between India and the US will be resolved soon, despite recent friction over oil and tariffs.
🛢️ Bessent criticized India for continuing to buy oil from Russia, warning it indirectly funds the Ukraine war. He said India’s slow trade negotiations also led to the 50% tariff hike — the highest in Asia — on Indian goods.
📺 On Fox Business, he said:
“India is the world’s largest democracy. Their values align more with ours than with Russia’s. But buying and reselling Russian oil is not helpful.”
🌏 He downplayed PM Modi’s recent meeting with Putin and Xi at the SCO Summit, calling it “largely performative”.
💡 Earlier, Trump had labeled India-US trade “a one-sided disaster”, claiming high Indian tariffs block US goods.
🔁 Bessent added:
“At the end of the day, 🇮🇳 and 🇺🇸 are two great nations. We’ll get this solved.”
⚠️ Russia Warned
Bessent issued a stern message to Moscow: more sanctions are coming if Russia continues its offensive in Ukraine.
📞 He referred to a recent Trump-Putin phone call and the Anchorage peace meeting, saying:
“Instead of peace, Putin increased bombings. With Trump, all options are on the table.”
💣 Despite peace talks, Russia and Ukraine continue intense attacks, casting doubt on diplomatic progress.
