With imposing a 25 per cent tariff and penalty charge on India, US President Donald Trump has also flared up tensions with Russia as he turned fire on its security council deputy chairman, Dmitry Medvedev.The spat between Trump and Medvedev began after the US president called the latter the "failed former President of Russia."After announcing a tariff on India and a penalty charge for its trade relations with Russia, Trump said, "I don’t care what India does with Russia.""They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care. We have done very little business with India, their Tariffs are too high, among the highest in the World," he added.
He turned the fire to the close ally of Putin and said, "Likewise, Russia and the USA do almost no business together. Let’s keep it that way, and tell Medvedev, the failed former President of Russia, who thinks he’s still President, to watch his words. He’s entering very dangerous territory!"
