Russia's First Comment After Trump's Claim On India-US Trade Deal - 'We Haven't Heard Any Statements From New Delhi'

(MENAFN- Live Mint) Reacting to the India–US trade deal, in which Donald Trump claimed that India has agreed to several measures, including stopping the purchase of Russian oil, the Kremlin said it had not received any confirmation from India.“So far, we haven't heard any statements from New Delhi on this matter,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told news agency AFP.

Washington on Monday brought months of tariff negotiations to an end, claiming that under the US–India trade deal, tariffs on Indian goods would be slashed to 18 per cent from 25 per cent, while also asserting that New Delhi would halt the purchase of Russian oil and increase imports of American goods.

In response, PM Modi hailed the deal as“wonderful” news on tariff reduction; however, there was no mention of Russian oil or the US claim that India would eliminate its levies on American goods.
