 "<div>Trump destroying India-US strategic partnership because Modi refuses to nominate him for Nobel: Democrat Ro Khanna</div>")
Trump has been slammed by his Opposition over his punitive tariffs on India, which he defends as New Delhi buys oil from Russia. The 50 per cent tariffs have plunged the India-US relationship to a new low, with Trump calling India’s economy “dead”
US Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna has said that President Donald Trump is “destroying” India-US ties because Prime Minister Narendra Modi refuses to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize.
“He has imposed a 50 per cent tariff on India, higher than any other country other than Brazil. It’s a higher tariff than the tariff on China. It is hurting India’s exports of leather and textiles into the United States. And it’s hurting American manufacturers and our exports into India. It is also driving India towards China and towards Russia,” he said.
The Congressman added, “Now, why is this happening? For very simple reasons. Prime Minister Modi refused to nominate Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize. Well, Pakistan did. And India has said that the border dispute with Pakistan is an internal matter, refusing to give Donald Trump credit.”
Trump is destroying 30 years of bipartisan work to build the US-India strategic partnership because Modi refuses to nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize. He imposed higher tariffs of 50% on India than China.
