Putin has claimed to have seen a 20% increase in US-Russia trade under Trump, even during the time Russia was bombing Ukraine, at the Alaska summit. Standing with a smile was Trump, who once threatened India with sanctions. This reveals the hypocrisy on the part of America, particularly in the matter of the India-US Trade Deal, where it speaks of trade and sanctions.
India-US Trade Deal: Hypocrisy in Sanctions
Putin’s Remark at the Alaska Summit
At the joint press conference, Putin took pride in stating that trade between Russia and the US had improved by 20 percent following the leadership of Trump. All this was occurring during an attack on Ukraine and the loss of the lives of civilians.
Trump’s Silence vs. His Stand on India
Trump smiled on stage rather than asking Russia questions. However, Trump has also used the same approach to threaten India with sanctions. This hypocrisy casts doubt on the impartiality of America.
US Trade Deal Impact on India
In India, the India-US Trade Deal is an area that is always sensitive- tariffs, imports, and energy relations have always been under pressure in Washington. America should be consistent in its trade measures, too when it demands that India act on sanctions.
The Hypocrisy Revealed
This event reveals an even greater reality that the US imposes rules in its favor. Provided that even when you are at war, a thing may get trade business with Russia. Making special effects on India in the matter of its trade preferences sounds more like politics than principle.
