Washington: Donald Trump has said that his tariffs on India are a big blow for Russia and its economy, which is already not doing well. The US President
mentioned India as the largest or second largest buyer of Russian oil. āIām going to meet him...Their (Russia) economy is not doing well right now because it's been very well disturbed by this. It doesn't help when the President of the United States tells their largest or second largest oil buyer that we are putting a 50 percent tariff on you if you buy oil from Russia. That was a big blow...I haven't stopped there. I mean, look, I was all set to do things far bigger than that. But I got a call that they'd like to meet and I'm going to see what they want to meet about. I'd like to see a ceasefire. I'd like to see the best deal that could be made for both partiesā¦,ā Donald Trump said. Donald Trump's statement on Russia has come ahead of his scheduled meeting with counterpart Vladimir Putin, to be held on August 15.
