Donald Trump imposed India with 50% tariff to put ‘secondary pressure’ on Russia: White House

US White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt (local time) said US President Donald Trump brought tariffs to India to prevent Russia from maintaining Ukraine conflict. Trump has doubled the 50 percent of India’s tariff by applying 25 percent to 25 percent more taxes previously announced.

Leavitt said that the intention behind the sanctions during the press briefing was to create secondary pressure on Russia. “Look, the president put an enormous public pressure to end this war. As you can see, India and other actions also made sanctions. He made it clear that he wanted to see the end of this war and threw the ideas of others that we had to wait for another month before a meeting was held.” He said.

Previously, Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the White House, and the first showed his clarity with Putin to a unilateral meeting with Putin to end the war in Ukraine. Trump said that he had a very successful day and that Zelensky was the “best conversation” with the US President so far. Leavitt also said Trump wants to bring peace as soon as possible. “The president wants to act and wants to end this war as quickly as possible … All these European leaders, including the NATO Secretary -General, all these European leaders, all of them acknowledged that this is a great first step. And these two leaders are waiting for the president to sit together,” he said.

“I can guarantee that the United States and Trump administration work with both Russia and Ukraine to make these bilateral speaking.” He said. Leavitt said Trump’s brutal efforts on intermediary of peace led to European leaders in the White House within 48 hours after his meeting with Putin. “President Putin met with all these European leaders in the White House 48 hours after sitting on the American territory. In fact, these European leaders, in a meeting with President Putin, each of them ride on a plane 48 hours later and immediately after flying to the United States, there was a lot of progress to these European leaders.” He said.

“These leaders, who are in the backyard of this war, are very grateful because the President received this call and that they are there to read Russia’s thinking about it, which is not done by the previous administration.”

Leavitt claimed that if the White House was the President of Trump, a reporter asked a question about it, he would never be war.

Trump has repeatedly stated that if the war was in the office, and surprisingly Putin seems to be in the same idea. When asked about it, he confirmed that Leavitt Putin said that. A reporter asked what Trump was planning to do to keep security guarantees beyond the presidency. Leavitt said Trump understood the need for permanent peace and had negotiations with European leaders and NATO to achieve this goal.

Leavitt emphasized his devotion to termination of the war by saying that Trump spent a significant time and energy on this effort. Trump negotiated with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders to give information about the situation. “Well, he understands the need for it yesterday. Both sides of this war with our European Allies and permanent leaders and how NATO will emerge and how NATO reveals. This war ends and determined to do it.”
