“I don’t care what India does with Russia. They can plug their moribund economies together, it is equal to me, “wrote the American president on his Truth Social network.
Donald Trump has been in the night of Wednesday to Thursday with renewed violence against India and Russia, historically allied and that he accuses of putting sticks in the wheels at the level of both diplomatic and commercial.
“I don’t care what India does with Russia. They can plug their moribund economies together, it is equal to me, “he wrote on his social social network.
The American president shows growing impatience towards Russian President Vladimir Putin, deaf to his requests for the end of hostilities in Ukraine.
On July 29, he gave Moscow ten days, until the end of next week, to stop the fight under penalty of harsh economic sanctions.
In his message that night, Donald Trump particularly attacks former Russian president Medvedev, calling him to “pay attention to what he says” and believing that he entered “a very dangerous area”.
In a recent message on X, the Russian leader, current number two of the country’s Security Council, had written that “each new ultimatum was a threat and a step towards war” with the United States.
He also considered that the ultimatum given by the 79 -year -old republican leader was “theatrical”.
Donald Trump also, once again, violently attacked India, which has become the first target of its protectionist offensives.
“We have very few exchanges with India, their customs duties are too high,” he said.
He announced on Wednesday 25% customs duties on Indian products upon arrival in the United States from August 1, adding that a “penalty” would be added for the purchase of Russian oil and weapons, of which India is a large consumer.
Whatever the American president says, trade between India and the United States is far from negligible.
In 2024, New Delhi exported 87.4 billion dollars (76.3 billion euros) of products on American soil.
The country, which fiercely protects its domestic market, recorded a trade surplus of nearly $ 46 billion with the United States.
