India takes steps in response to America’s tariff- Tharoor
Tharoor said, “India has allegedly stopped the weapon purchase agreement, responding to the US tariff. India should understand where it is standing. We should talk like a proud country, because we cannot accept any situation where one party can decide all conditions and expect the other party to accept it without any question.”
Tharoor raised questions on Trump’s double standards
In another statement, Shashi Tharoor questioned the double standards of President Trump. Tharoor said, “America is adopting the attitude of double standards with India, because many countries buy crude oil from Russia, China imports more oil and gas from India from Russia, but only 30 percent tariffs on it and 50 percent on it. Also, Trump gave 90 days to talk to China, but when India came to talk, but when India came to talk, it was just 21 days to talk.
