NEW YORK/WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump and his trade team are disappointed that India continues to “fund” Russia’s Ukraine war, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said on Friday, hoping that there will be positive development soon.
Trump has imposed 25 per cent reciprocal tariffs on India and an additional 25 per cent levies for Delhi’s purchases of Russian oil, bringing the total duties imposed on India to 50 per cent, with effect from August 27.
“I think that the trade team and the President are disappointed that India continues to fund Russia’s Ukraine war, and hopefully it’s a diplomatic issue that it will have positive development soon,” Hassett told reporters at the White House.
