“Russia will not have any friends”: The best assistant Trump India, China, Brazilian, warns the repercussions

The Trump administration threatens to launch “destructive sanctions” to Russia starting from August 8, with warnings that India, China and Brazil can also be punished if they continue to trade with Moscow, especially in oil.

Now, Trump added that India may re -expand the scope of Russian oil imports, describing it as a “good step”.

The American ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker, speaking on behalf of the Trump administration, said that the upcoming sanctions will not strike directly in the energy and defense sectors in Russia, but will also impose secondary sanctions on countries that maintain major trade relations with Russia.

“If you finance the war machine in Russia through trade, then you are at the intersection,” Witakir, specifically,

The plan includes up to 100 % a tariff and comprehensive penalties for oil transactions and other strategic sectors.

One of the most amazing claims came when Whitaker claimed that Vladimir Putin “needs to sell oil” to pay every Russian soldier $ 100,000 – a widely inflated number and non -analyst by independent analysts.

“I understand that India no longer buys oil from Russia. This is what I heard, I don’t know whether this is true or not. This is a good step. We will see what is happening.”

When asked if he had a specific number in mind the sanctions on India or whether he intends to speak with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Trump avoids the details but seemed open to escalation if Indian energy purchases already turned.

India, however, offered a measurement response. During the weekly media briefing on Friday, Mea Randhir Jaiswal said that India is still committed to securing its energy needs based on market conditions and national interest.

He said: “We are not aware of any details,” in dealing with media reports that some Indian oil companies may have stopped the Russian imports.

India has long defended its sovereign right to self -determination, even amid the escalating pressure from the West on the Russian oil trade.
