Trump made the statement on TruthSocial, as cited by Clash Report and the Financial Times.“Remember, while India is our friend, we have, over the years, done relatively little business with them because their tariffs are far too high, among the highest in the world, and they have the most strenuous and obnoxious non-monetary trade barriers of any country,” Trump wrote.He emphasized that New Delhi “has always purchased the vast majority of its military equipment from Russia” and is one of the largest buyers of Russian energy alongside China.“At a time when everyone wants Russia to STOP THE KILLING IN UKRAINE — ALL THINGS NOT GOOD!” Trump wrote.He added that beginning August 1, the U.S. will impose 25% tariffs on India, and the country will also face a fine, though he did not specify the amount.U.S. President Donald Trump says his wife Melania “likes” Vladimir Putin but was disturbed by Russia’s bombing of Kyiv, adding he was “disappointed” after personally speaking with the Russian leader just hours before the attack.
