Moscow, August 6 /TASS /. The efforts of US President Donald Trump to put pressure on India due to energy cooperation with Russia will have the opposite effect and will lead to strengthening the Russian-Indian relations, enhancing decline and expansion of interactions between BRICS countries. This idea was shown by the Head of the Finance Economic Department of the State Medal of Russian Federation Igbal Guliev.
“In Trump's strict statements for India, Washington's growing stimulation was shown. This reaction was explained: The largest countries of the South globally, and above all, always conducting an independent foreign policy, focusing on the guidelines of the United States, but for their efforts.
Touching the prospect of Russia-India's energy cooperation, he noted that “it is not worth expecting serious changes for the worse.” According to Guliyev, India will continue to buy energy in countries where it meets its economic benefits, including Russia.
“The practice of Russian oil processing with the reopening of oil products later became normal for India as a big player in the world energy market and perfectly suitable for international trade rules. The United States tried to blame India to blame such actions in the spirit of the Cold War and not to the new reality of the multiple world.
According to him, India will only increase the use of alternative payment mechanisms, “will accelerate death processes, and this is what Washington is most afraid of.” In the long run, this can cause serious changes in world trade architecture.
On August 4, Trump said he would significantly increase the task of India for Russian imports and resell. Earlier, the head of the US government announced the introduction of tasks with the amount of 25% for the import of Indian goods in the United States. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has called United States attacks, because Western countries have previously encouraged that trade and continued to buy goods and services in the Russian Federation. On August 5, Trump warned that Washington would increase the customs tax for India the next day due to Russia's shopping.
