Washington/New Delhi (HRNW)- The impact of US President Donald Trump’s tough trade policies (tariffs) is clearly visible in global markets, and it may also have an impact on India’s oil purchases from Russia.
In a video circulating on social media, US Senator Lindsey Graham is talking to reporters on ‘Air Force One’ with President Trump, in which he said that the Indian ambassador has requested him that India has significantly reduced its oil purchases from Russia.
Senator Graham further said that India’s strategy has been adopted due to the pressure of the 25% tariff imposed by the US. Graham said in the video,
“These things (tariffs) work!” That is, Trump’s tough trade policies have forced India to change its energy strategy.
According to experts, this incident shows how US tariffs and sanctions affect global markets and the decisions of major countries, and even a large country like India, which relies on Russia for its energy, cannot ignore US pressure.
According to social media users, this video is a clear example of the success of “America First” and Trump’s tough trade policies, and it is rapidly being commented on in global political and economic circles.
