India financing Russia's war, says Trump aide
AP photo A top aide to Donald Trump on Sunday accused India of effectively financing Russia's war in Ukraine by purchasing oil from Moscow, after the United States president escalated pressure on New Delhi to stop buying Russian oil. "What he (Trump) said very clearly is that it is not acceptable for India to continue financing this war by purchasing the oil from Russia," said Stephen Miller, deputy chief of staff at the White House and one of Trump's most influential aides. Miller's criticism was some of the strongest yet by the Trump administration about one of the US's major partners in the Indo-Pacific. "People will be shocked to learn that India is basically tied with China in purchasing Russian oil. That's an astonishing fact," Miller said on Fox News' 'Sunday Morning Futures'. The Indian embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Indian govt sources told Reuters on Saturday that New Delhi would keep purchasing oil from Moscow despite US threats. A 25% tariff on Indian products went into effect on Friday as a result of its purchase of military equipment and energy from Russia. Trump has also threatened 100% tariffs on US imports from countries that buy Russian oil unless Moscow reaches a major peace deal with Ukraine. Miller tempered his criticism by noting Trump's relationship with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, describing it as "tremendous.

BJP govt's ‘Swadeshi' call mere rhetoric: Akhilesh
1 2 Lucknow: Taking on the BJP-led govt at the Centre for its call to promote 'Swadeshi' products, Samajwadi Party national president Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday described it as mere 'jumla' (rhetoric) and accused the BJP of touring the world to request countries to enter into trade agreements. "BJP ka swadeshi bhi ek jumla hai (BJP's call for Swadeshi is only rhetoric)," Akhilesh said, adding that in India the BJP is calling upon people to use Indian products while BJP delegations are touring the world urging for trade agreements. "If the BJP had the right intentions, it would never have had 'jhoola' (swing) moments and had not gifted gold chains to those who chained our countrymen," he said. Akhilesh's 'jhula' jibe was in apparent reference to the 2014 visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping and the First Lady who, accompanied by PM Modi during their visit to Gujarat, sat on a swing for a photo op. Similarly, his charge of Indians being chained is being seen in the light of recent deportations by the US where Indians were sent back handcuffed and chained to each other. The SP chief made the comments a day after the PM, during his address in Varanasi on Saturday, called upon the people to use products manufactured in India. The call came at a time when India is involved in a tariff war with the Donald Trump govt in the US which has imposed a tariff of 25% on Indian goods. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like NRIs Living In Estonia Are Eligible For INR 2 Lakh Monthly Pension.
