Nikki Haley Asks India To Take Trump’s View On Russian Oil Seriously
“India must take Trump’s point over Russian oil seriously,” said Republican leader Nikki Haley, adding that New Delhi must work with the White House to find a solution, “sooner the better”.
“Navigating issues like trade disagreements and Russian oil imports demands hard dialogue,” Haley posted on social media on Saturday (local time).
She posted on X a portion of the opinion piece she wrote last week for Newsweek amid strain in ties between the two countries after President Donald Trump slapped 50% tariff on Indian goods.
Haley has been facing criticism within her party for favouring India amid tariff tensions between the two countries.
In her article Haley said, “Trump is right to target India’s massive Russian oil purchases, which are helping to fund Vladimir Putin’s brutal war against Ukraine.”
However, she added that India must be treated like the “prized free and democratic partner that it is—not an adversary like China.”
