US President Donald Trump seems to have unleashed his men, from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant to Secretary of State Marco Rubio to Trade Advisor Peter Navarro to Senator Lindsay Graham, to attack India. Allegations ranging from profiteering on cheap Russian oil to help Russia in its war against Ukraine, to finance Moscow’s war machine, to use dollars to kill civilians in Ukraine, have been heaped upon India.
What is Donald Trump administration’s game plan?
The US political system has painted India as a villain who is behind the killing of thousands of people in Ukraine. It has not blamed the biggest Russian oil buyer, China or the biggest gas purchaser, the European Union. The US administration also forgets that the US-Russia trade has increased since Donald Trump took office in January this year. The two sides also agreed to increase bilateral trade at the Alaska summit.
