Divya Delhi: Trump's attitude toward India and China was criticized by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin responded to Trump's tariffs on India by saying Trump cannot force India to stop buying Russian oil. Putin told reporters following the Beijing military display that he supported India and China against Trump's tariffs. “You have countries like India with 1.5 billion people, China, powerful economies, but they also have domestic political mechanisms and laws. When someone threatens to punish you, you have to consider how the leaders of those big countries will react. Colonization and protracted sovereignty taxes were also terrible periods in their history. You must realize that if one shows weakness, his political career is done. That affects his behavior.” Putin added that Washington's rhetoric is outmoded. “Colonial times are over. They must realize they cannot use these language with partners, he said. The Russian president also anticipated tensions would lessen soon: “Ultimately, things will be sorted out, everything will take its place, and we will see normal political dialogue again.” In the Trump tariff debate over India, the US has declared a second and third phase of prospective punishment. He added that India offered him a “no tariff” deal after Washington raised Indian products tariffs. India was the most tariffed nation in the world, but they eliminated tariffs for me. He told The Scott Jennings Radio Show that without tariffs, they would never make that offer.
