NEW YORK: (Jan 29) In the wake of the FTA between India and the EU, the US has described the Europeans as “very disappointing”, saying they were unwilling to join Washington in putting tariffs on New Delhi for its purchases of Russian oil because of this trade deal.
“Again, they should do what’s best for themselves, but I will tell you I find the Europeans very disappointing because the Europeans are on the front line of the Ukraine-Russia war,” US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in an interview with CNBC’s ‘Squawk on thUS-e Street’ Wednesday.
Bessent was responding to a question on the “massive” trade deal between Europe and India and whether that threatens America, given that the countries are moving ahead with free trade without Washington.
