“They bought the majority of military equipment from Russia, and Russia’s largest energy buyer, together with China, when everyone wants everyone to stop killing in Ukraine – everything is not good!”

Indian government said expression On Wednesday, the US bilateral trade tariff noted the decision and added that he examined the results.

The request comes despite the previous commitments to conclude the first stage of the autumn of 2025 in the autumn of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Trump in the autumn of the Northern Hemisphere and expand the bilateral trade to $ 500 billion by 2030.
