India US relations: ‘India became the financer of Russia’, Trump’s advisor agreed, but trusts in Modi-Trump friendship

The White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Stephen Miller said in a conversation with Fox News on Sunday, President Trump has very clearly said that it is not acceptable that India continues to fund this war by buying oil from Russia. People will be surprised to hear that India is now almost equal to China in terms of buying oil from Russia. This is a shocking fact. This statement is considered to be the most strict public comment on India so far from the Trump camp.

India has been constantly saying that purchasing oil from Russia is necessary for its energy security. In a conversation with Reuters on Saturday, Indian officials made it clear that New Delhi will continue to buy Russian oil as it is a matter related to national interest. This is what America has objected to. India is a major strategic partner of America in Indo-Pacific, but despite this, the Trump administration on Friday imposed 25% tariff on India. The reason was told that India is buying oil from Russia and is doing the hand of Hathiyars. Trump even said that if a country continues to buy oil from Russia, he can apply it to 100% tariff on it. Until Russia takes concrete steps towards peace agreement.

‘Relationship with Modi still excellent’
Stephen Miller also added amidst his strict statements that the relationship between Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been very strong. President Trump has inherited a great relationship with Prime Minister Modi. They give them great respect personally. But when it comes to the interest of the country, they take a clear stand.
