Russia-US talks: Was there a way for Tariff Putin to come to the table in India? What did Trump say

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that the secondary tariff imposed on India may have influenced the decision of Russian President Vladimir Putin to meet him, beyond his scheduled summit in Alaska on Friday. Trump said Tariff “maybe” played a role in bringing Moscow to the table as he wants a peace deal in Ukraine.In an interview with Fox News Radio, Trump said, “Everything has an impact,” referring to the secondary tariff against India, “essentially taken him out of buying oil from Russia.” He said, “Surely, when you lose your second largest customer and you are probably going to lose your first biggest customer, I think it may have a role.”The Alaska Summit is aimed at an initial meeting between the two leaders, which paves the way for the second round of talks that will also include Ukrainian President Volodimier Zelanski.The Maga chief said that she focuses primarily on obtaining a “immediate Shanti deal” and also that if the first meeting progresses, she will call Zelancesi to join the discussion directly.Earlier this month, Trump imposed a stator tariff on Indian imports, increasing the rate for many products by 25 percent, it is one of the highest applicable to any American trading partner. India has strongly objected, measures are asked to protect millions of people “inappropriate, inappropriate and inappropriate,”, while protecting the essential oil purchases for national energy security and protect millions of people from rising fuel costs.American Treasury Secretary Scott Besent has warned that Washington can increase secondary tariffs on India if diplomatic efforts in Ukraine fails. Trump has repeatedly stressed that there will be “very serious consequences” for Russia if he does not stop his war against Ukraine.
