“I don’t care what India does with Russia. They can take their dead economies down together for all I care,” declares U.S. President Donald Trump

Trump: Ricordate, sebbene l'India sia nostra amica, nel corso degli anni abbiamo fatto relativamente pochi affari con loro perché i loro dazi sono troppo alti, tra i più alti al mondo, e hanno le barriere commerciali non monetarie più rigide e odiose di qualsiasi altro Paese.
