us President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he had no idea that the US itself imports chemical and fertilizer from Russia. This denial came after India’s claim in which India said that the US is continuing import of uranium hexaphloride from Russia for its nuclear industry, fertilizers and chemicals. During a press conference at the White House, when ANI asked the US question about the import of Russian chemical and fertilizers, Trump said, “I don’t know anything about it. We have to investigate it.”
Trump gave new threats on Monday
ANI has approached the President’s press team and is waiting for their reply. This comment came a day after the US President announced that the US will “increase the fee” on India for the purchase of Russian oil. Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Monday, “India is not only buying a huge amount of Russian oil, but a large part of the bought oil is selling at huge profits in the open market.
India’s import market needs and energy security based on Russia
India strongly opposed the statement of the US President and the Ministry of External Affairs described India as “unfair and absurd”. In a detailed response, India stated that its import from Russia is based on market needs and energy security, especially after the traditional supply by Western countries to Europe after the Ukraine conflict.
India’s objective to ensure affordable energy costs for consumers
The statement said, “Actually, India started imports from Russia because traditional supply was diverted to Europe after the struggle erupted. At that time, the US actively encouraged such imports by India to strengthen the stability of global energy markets. India’s imports aims to ensure an estimated and economical energy cost for Indian consumers. It is a mandatory requirement of India. It is a mandatory need to ensure the status of India. Criticizing countries themselves are involved in trade with Russia. Unlike our case, such business is also not an important national obligation. “
India will take all necessary steps to protect national interests and economic security
India also stated that the European Union’s bilateral trade with Russia reached 67.5 billion euros in 2024, including 16.5 million tonnes of LNGs, which is more than its own business quantity with Russia. India said that it will take all necessary steps to protect its national interests and economic security.
