The public sentiment is predominantly negative towards Trump's tariff threats, with commenters expressing skepticism about his credibility and ridicule towards his approach. Many emphasize India's autonomy and commitment to maintaining trade relations with Russia, viewing Trump's comments as bluster and disconnected from reality.

Trump speaks in 3rd person now?

And, Ukraine war will end in 24 hours.

as someone outside america, one of the most offensive things this embarressment continuously does is presume he controls what other countries do

Epstein files should be made public


If one day, the Dow Jones Industrial Average falls more than 1000 points in a single day, then the current president of the United States should be loaded into a cannon and shot towards the sun at an extremely fast speed, without any excuses——trump  from sun 3/1

“\[Modi\] can’t do it immediately, it’s a little bit of a process, but the process will be over with soon,” the president added later in the news conference, adding that “Modi is a great man, he loves Trump.”

  
Did Trump really refer to him self in the third person here? I gotta find this conference footage

Trump said this?  OK, that means that India will likely increase their purchase of Russian oil.

wwarnout

My guess is Trump will lift sanctions on Iran in an up coming deal for lasting peace and no nukes. India will get their oil from them.

Sneaky_SOB

Trump when he sees a bear “That bear will sh!t in the woods” 😄😄😄

Can trump STOP trying to control the world. Would someone please SHUT HIM UP. All countries should boycott the US. See how they survive alone.

Cool. So Let India tell us. 
This guy just says shit and expects everyone around him to back him up. Like, sorry India. The decisions been made lol. Too late now, already told the world.

Subject_Roof3318

Oh I get it. The richest man in India will stop refining Russian oil at a huge profit because the US is unhappy. Hmmm… don’t worry modi won’t miss the millions in taxes either.

eliota1

There's not even a single day where this narcissistic manchild doesn't say something absurd.

Friendly_Macaroon460

Ha!

Not a freaking chance.

And since he said it - even less.

Holeshot75

Not directly from Russia, just through its shady partners

India is BRICS to the core.

KP6fanclub

See, the problem with stories like this is that Trump says a *lot* of things. Usually hyperbolic, superlative nonsense that is becoming harder to understand by the day as his dementia worsens and his tonsil stones continue to fire out of his mouth like gross little spit wads. 

I don't remember my original point, but Donald Trump is a fucking loser.

Queltis6000

LividGaia

Did India put that in signature writing or just hearsay to want trump want to hear

Pixie16fire

Knight-Peace

The only reason India would do this is due to price. Right now, it's still very cheap for them. Whatever happened to that 500% tariff on countries that keep buying Russian oil? That was actually a sensible bipartisan Senate bill, which is very rare these days.

Plappedudel

They should’ve just double downed. Could become president.

If Trump managed that (he won't), he will deserve a lot of praise. That would be a massive blow to Russia.

fitzgoldy

Did they PINKY promise though? Otherwise it doesn’t count

DancingDonkeyHehe

Isn’t that because Russia has no oil to sell due to Ukraine’s attack on their oil infrastructure?

CodeVirus

Well, he isn't the president of India to decide that.

Constant_Section1491

lol, BRICS is what the US _used_ to be. Dude ruined everything that gave America hegemonic power and still thinks he's a hegemon.

MidnightBluesAtNoon

No they won't, India will double down and buy every single drop of Russian oil available. Trump is a moron to believe Modi, Putin's #1 supporter and fan.

Objective_Mousse7216

If this turns out to be true, Trump will do a massive step forwards to ending the conflict in Ukraine, since Russia will be left by its biggest customer, all while having to import oil into country due to its own refineries being shut down. Pair this with ending conflcit in Gaza, and he actually will be the best candidate for nobel peace prize next year. Weather you all like it or not

Onlypizzafans69

Comically end Indian consumer is getting no benefit whether government buys oil from Russia or anywhere...it's just billionaire Ambani who owns largest oil refinery and this getting this cheap oil and profiting.... Indian petrol and diesel prices are relatively the same since Russia Ukraine war

Dick_Thunder20

JoshDrako

I think this is actually going to happen very soon. The whole strategy for defeating Russia is strangling their economy and cutting off profits from oil is the top priority.

LowExpert2354

Could be. Why? Because Russian oil delivery is already at risk. China will follow.

Is he lying or just doesn't remember? Honestly, could flip a coin.

Trump just getting called out for his lies by another PM is pretty wild.

TheGrindersClub

So, Trump busted again for lying.  How many is that now (gotta be near 50,000)?

He just keeps lying and lying and lying.......

Trump got caught in another lie! His nose is the largest part of his body!

Adept-Mulberry-8720

I mean why would Modi stop buying it given that Trump has been rattling him in the past few months. Singling out India in imposing tariffs with regards to Russian oil while not taking action against China. Getting cozy with Pakistan because his family is allegedly making a lot of money through crypto from there. You can see it with Pakistani military leaders issuing nuclear warnings to them every one or two months or so. Then the greed of getting access to India's agri and dairy market which has stalled the FTA which India itself was very enthusiastic about. I don't see any reason why India would stop unless US gives a better deal in oil to compensate for the discounts on Russian oil. Clearly Trump is trying to do market manipulation here.

EmbarrassedFig9129

The law of inhibiting lead.

The US was so far ahead that they had no real rival for three decades. They didn't need good diplomats for three decades. As a consequence they don't have any now that they do need them.

As a consequence of not having good diplomats they fail to understand the entirely of current geopolitics. They fail to understand the strengths and weaknesses of both allies and adversaries.

Man, I remember how Biden was criticized for sentimental/emotional exaggerations, but this is on a whole different level...

Randomnesse

I suspected as much. India has too much to gain from Russian oil and reselling to just give it up without a proper international response.

Spudtron98

Sad times when I believe the statements of the Indian government over the POTUS, but here we are.

gotohellwithsuperman

Ya’ll missed it. He is lying now because Putin undid  it. He is gaslighting us and changing his deal with India.

It's amazing how quickly the United States turned from a world hegemon into a laughing stock

Used to be a scandal if this kind of easily verifiable lies were told by a top politician. Now it's just background noise to the worse things they are lying about. The standards of good governance are in the gutter.

So they are saying trump is a liar!  The Indians are correct!

Trump lies all the time to fool the American people of the not so good work he is supposed to be doing.all he does is creating chaos and then dissappear to to golf course.he does not know how to run a country.

He did talk to India. It was a random customer support line though.

Whenever Trump thinks he's talking to some world leader, it's actually just Putin on the other side doing a voice.

totallyRebb

I wonder if there is a list somewhere of all the things Trump has lied about? I mean, somebody should be keeping track?

betweentwoblueclouds

Trump is like ELLEN in this sense. He’ll just Say shit and expect that his circle will go along with it and nobody will call him out

Hello this is Steve - from customer support….

GodOfTimezones

I would say that Trump is being manipulated by an army of freeloaders in the admin. Stephen Miller is a prime example of trying to run his agenda through a demented trump. Trump is probably half gone and being fed fake media.

TootaFoota

At least china and India is paying the tariff /s

Spiritual_Minimum378

My latest with Brendan Cole: 

The Kremlin shrugged off U.S. President Trump's claim that India had given its assurance it would no longer buy Russian oil. Reacting to Trump's remarks, Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin, said Moscow is "guided by the official statements" of India and China regarding oil purchases, state news agency TASS reported.

Newsweek_ShaneC

&gt;Spokesperson for India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Randhir Jaiswal: “It has been our consistent priority to safeguard the interests of the Indian consumer in a volatile energy scenario. Our import policies are guided entirely by this objective.”

Haha, that's the most Indian statement if there was ever one. Take no sides, make no declarations and angle for the maximum benefit.  

Now either Russia has to give them a bigger discount to tempt them away from Trump, or Trump has to offer massive incentives to India just so that he can say that he stopped Russia's funding. Either way, India make out like bandits, again.

PopeFuchsYoungKidd

Maybe they are not longer buying it from Russia, but are willing to buy it from non flagged ships that happen to be passing by with extra oil.
