Indian National Security Adviser Ajit Doval and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar are expected to visit Moscow this month, The Economic Times reported. Doval could travel in early August, while Jaishankar is likely to visit around mid-month.
This comes following harsh remarks by Donald Trump, who called India and Russia “dead economies” and announced a 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods along with penalties. He also warned of penalties for countries maintaining strategic trade ties with Russia.
India has also continued to acquire advanced military equipment from Russia despite ongoing Western sanctions.
Earlier, Trump on Thursday lashed out at both India and Russia, calling their economies “dead” and saying he doesn’t care about New Delhi’s ties with Moscow.
