India and China will not bow to American threats, Russian Foreign Minister told Trump.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has hit back at the US for its continued rhetoric regarding tariffs against India. He described India as an ancient civilization and warned the US about this.
Moscow: The Russian Foreign Minister has issued a strong response to the US rhetoric against other countries, including India, for purchasing oil from Russia. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that ancient civilizations like India and China will not bow to ultimatums. He said US demands to halt Russian energy purchases are forcing countries to seek new energy markets, new resources and pay more.
India and China will not bow down.
Lavrov said that “China and India are both ancient civilizations, and using language like ‘Stop doing what I don’t like or I’ll impose tariffs on you’ won’t work.” The Russian foreign minister warned the US that its position faced moral and political opposition, referring to the response of New Delhi and Beijing to US demands.
