Zelensky backs US move, says tariffs on India ‘absolutely right’
New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): US President Donald Trump has imposed heavy tariffs on many countries including India. Now, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has also supported Trump on his tariffs. Zelensky has termed the US' decision to impose tariffs on India as correct.
Zelensky says that if America has taken strict action against the country that gives strength to Russia, then what is wrong in that. In an interview, Zelensky also talked about the leaders of China, Russia and India coming together on one platform. He was asked whether the decision of American tariff has backfired because Modi, Putin and Xi Jinping have appeared on one platform and collaboration has been seen. On this, Zelensky said that I believe that America's decision to impose tariff on India is correct. It is necessary to impose sanctions on those doing business with Russia. He was asked another question that your demand is that maximum sanctions should be imposed on Russia and Ukraine should get help. On this, Zelensky said that I am happy with the steps taken by the Donald Trump government. It is not right to do any kind of deal with Russia. I support sanctions on it. He said that Donald Trump knows how to stop Vladimir Putin. Vladimir Putin's weapon is that he sells oil and gas to many countries of the world. That power of his has to be snatched away.
Zelensky said that we saw the meeting between Modi, Putin and Xi Jinping this week. How did you feel when you saw Modi there? Do you believe that the decision of the Donald Trump administration to impose tariffs backfired? On this, Zelensky said that I believe that America's decision to impose tariffs on India is correct. It is necessary to impose sanctions on those doing business with Russia. When asked about the Alaska Summit, Volodymyr Zelensky said that I was not there. Zelensky said that through this meeting, Trump gave Putin everything he wanted.
The Russian leader has long wanted to meet the US President. Zelensky said that Trump gave him this opportunity and rolled out the red carpet. On Vladimir Putin's offer to come to Moscow for talks, Zelensky said that he can also come to Kiev. Zelensky said that when my country is under the shadow of missiles, how can I go to the capital of those who fired them. Zelensky said that if they had to hold talks, then why did they not do it in the middle of the war, when we were constantly demanding such a thing. The Ukrainian leader said that I had received a hint of bilateral talks from Donald Trump. On this I said that we are ready for any kind of talks. We will just go to Moscow and have a meeting. I think it is a very good idea to impose tariffs on countries that are trading with Russia.
