The tariff imposed on India for importing oil from Russia on behalf of US President Donald Trump is being criticized. Along with many former US leaders, many economists have also called Trump’s move stupid. At the same time, now an American journalist has called Trump’s policy with outrageous and goth -filled with additional tariffs imposed on India.

American journalist Rick Sanchez said in an interview to news agency ANI that America should not treat India as it is a school going to school. He said, ‘India is not a school going to school, but a big boy.’ He said, ‘Donald Trump’s decisions often arise from irritation, malicious and unscientific thinking. I appreciate India that he is standing firm on his decision against Trump’s move.

Most people consider the American policy of secondary tariffs absurd- Sanchez

Sanchez said, ‘America’s policy regarding secondary tariffs is very absurd in most people.’ He criticized America’s perspective in such a way that America needs a supervision in its decision -making process when he was treated with India.

What did Sanchez say about American tariff on India,

Sanchez said that India emphasized the importance of the right to buy crude oil from Russia and to choose its oil suppliers independently, calling it a transformative and dangerous moment. He said, ‘This (of Trump administration) is an abusive and ignorance policy, as they do not understand the reasons for the Ukraine war from the perspective of Russia. But you (to the Trump administration) have to take care of this, to which to some extent Prime Minister Modi has noticed that any policy is derogatory when you start considering a country like India as a school going to school, which has a bright history, resource and ability to be across. This is exactly the same as they are treating India like a school child, who needs to be told what they should do and what not to do. But India is not a school child, he is a big boy.
