New Delhi refutes Trump’s claim to downgrade on trade threats

New Delhi: India on Monday refuted U.S. President Donald Trump’s claim that Washington told New Delhi that bilateral trade would suffer unless it agreed to reduce tensions with Pakistan.“After Operation Sindor began, Vice President JD Vance spoke to the Prime Minister on May 9. Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke to Foreign Minister S Jaishankar on May 8 and May 10 and spoke to the NSA on May 10. None of these discussions mentioned trade.”
On Monday, Trump received praise for stopping the “potential nuclear war” between India and Pakistan, saying his administration has contributed to a “full and immediate ceasefire” between the two countries.
Trump said he offered to help countries trade and said that if they don’t lower, India and Pakistan will not trade with the United States. “My administration helped brokers carry out a comprehensive and immediate ceasefire, and I think the permanent ceasefire between India and Pakistan has ended the dangerous conflict between the two countries with a large number of nuclear weapons,” Trump said.

Trump added: “I said, come on, we’ll do a lot of deals with you, so stop it. Stop it and we’ll trade. If you don’t stop it, we won’t trade any.”


The U.S. president stressed that trade is one of the main reasons for downgrades between India and Pakistan, adding that trade negotiations are underway with India. “They do this for many reasons. But trade is a big trade. We will have a lot of trade with both Pakistan and India. We are now negotiating with India. We will have a very short talk with Pakistan. ET reported earlier on Monday that tensions between the United States and India and Pakistan have no effect despite Trump’s claims. Prime Minister Narendra Modi told Vance on the evening of May 9: “If Pakistanis do anything, they will get a response, more devastating than anything.” “The source of Trump’s tweet about Kashmir mediation said there will be no discussions with the United States on Kashmir.
