Karachi: Indian External Minister, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, lashed out at the unconventional diplomacy style of US President Donald Trump, describing him as a rest of the established international practice.
He also ruled out Washington's statement that he played a mediating role in the recent confrontation of India-Pakistan.
Going to a press meeting in New Delhi, Jaishankar commented that no previous US president had carried out diplomacy in such a public way, saying that Trump's approach marked a strong deviation from traditional foreign policy behind the scene.
Their comments occur when the deadline is coming for Trump's additional tariffs on Indian goods, which could see that tariffs increase to 50%, with additional sanctions linked to continuous imports of Russian oil in India.
In commerce, Jaishankar said that farmers and small producers of India would continue to be non -negotiable priorities, claiming: “When it comes to trade, the interests of farmers, when it comes to our strategic autonomy, when it comes to opposition to mediation, this government is very clear. Our positions are there. If someone does not disagree with us, he says to the people who are not prepared to defend the interests of the interests. Farmers.
Jaishankar dismissed Washington's criticism that India was “winning the preparation” when refining and re -exporting Russian oil, saying: “It is fun to have people who work for an American administration in favor of businesses accusing others to do business.”
He added: “If you have problems buying oil or refined products from India, you don't buy it. Nobody forces you to buy it. EUROPE BUY, United States Buy, so you don't like it, don't buy it.”
The minister also rejected Trump's statements that Washington had mediated the fire that ended the four-day conflict in India-Pakistan earlier this year.
“On the issue of mediation (India-Pak conflict), since the 1970s, for more than 50 years, there is a national consensus in this country that we do not accept mediation in our relations with Pakistan,” said Indian Foreign Minister.
Clarifying the role of external players during skirmish, Jaishankar acknowledged that international dissemination was routine but not decisive.
“The USA made telephone calls, other countries made telephone calls.
Jaishankar also stressed that while “trade is really the main problem between our countries”, negotiations with Washington are still ongoing despite the cancellation of a visit of US delegation planned in August.
At the same time, Jaishankar backed away against the speculation that India's commitment to China was linked to friction with the United States, qualifying such simplistic views. He also pointed to the historical ties of Washington with Islamabad, saying: “They have a story among them and have a story of view that story.”
