Nikki Haley thinks India should tale Trump’s point seriously on Russian oil. <\/p>\n
Former US ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley<\/a> described India as a \u201cfriend\u201d the United States needs in its corner to counter China, while urging New Delhi to take President Donald Trump\u2019s concerns over Russian oil \u201cseriously.\u201dAlso Read | Tariffs: Things India should and shouldn\u2019t do<\/a>Haley\u2019s remarks come from an opinion piece she recently wrote in Newsweek, where she described India as \u201cessential\u201d for the United States and urged Washington to treat New Delhi as a \u201cprized free and democratic partner.\u201d The Indian-origin Republican leader has faced criticism within her party for apparently siding with India in the trade standoff. However, on Saturday she drew attention to a different section of her article\u2014warning that New Delhi too must be mindful of US concerns.<\/p>\n Poll<\/p>\n Should India prioritize addressing US concerns over Russian oil imports?<\/p>\n “India must take Trump’s point over Russian oil seriously, and work with the White House to find a solution. The sooner the better. Decades of friendship and good will between the world’s two largest democracies provide a solid basis to move past the current turbulence. Navigating issues like trade disagreements and Russian oil imports demands hard dialogue. But, we should not lose sight of what matters most: our shared goals. To face China, the United States must have a friend in India,” she posted sharing the opinion piece.<\/p>\n What Nikki Haley said on the US-India tariff war<\/p>\n Nikki Haley said Trump is “right” to target India’s massive Russian oil purchases which are helping to fund Putin’s war against Ukraine. But India is not an adversary and is essential in helping the US move its critical supply chains away from China. “India’s significance is even more profound. Home to more than a sixth of humanity, India surpassed China as the world’s most populous country in 2023, with a young workforce that contrasts with China’s aging one. It is the world’s fastest-growing major economy\u2014soon to eclipse Japan as the world’s fourth largest,” she wrote.Also Read: India needs to punch back on Trump\u2019s tariffs<\/a>India’s rise does not threaten the free world, Nikki Haley wrote, stating that the US should reverse the downward spiral between India and the US. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nikki Haley thinks India should tale Trump’s point seriously on Russian oil.
