00:00and our big news connected to the u.s. tariffs coming in the external affairs minister has
00:11exposed the double standards that u.s. has been taking as far as u.s. tariff imposition is concerned
00:19the external affairs minister has said that tariffs are unfair and he has said this publicly
00:26now the external affairs minister has said that even europe is buying oil from russia and this is
00:32in reference to the penalty that has been imposed on india for buying russian energy he said that
00:38they are working actively for issues with the united states
00:43yes we have today issues with the united states uh a big part of it uh is the fact that we have
01:03not arrived at a landing ground for our trade discussions and uh the uh inability so far
01:13uh to reach there has led to a certain tariff being levied on india in addition there is a
01:22a second tariff which you know we have said we publicly said we regard it as very unfair which
01:28has picked on us uh for uh sourcing energy from russia when of course there are other countries
01:34who have done so uh including countries who right now have a far more antagonistic relationship with
01:40russia than we do so uh i i don't want you know i'm not minimizing the issues but i don't think we
01:50should take it to a point as though this is going to percolate to every dimension of the relationship
01:55and there is something very fundamental let's take that i think we need to see this in proportion
02:00right joining us now is india today's shivani sharma shivani external affairs minister is jay shankar
02:07once again they're being very candid about india u.s relationship
02:10see and really india has been very clear in its approach that it will not accept the unfair tariff and
02:18that's what the external affairs minister has once again said that uh the tariffs that have been
02:24levied onto india are unfair and we've already publicly said and reacted to it remember earlier
02:30when these tariffs were announced the statements had come in from the me especially when united states
02:35had accused india uh responsible for the people dying in ukraine so india had outrightly rejected
02:41those remarks by united states and once again today dr s jay shankar has said that we are actually
02:47working on these tensions these issues need to be resolved and we are actively working on them but
02:53it's very important that india has not bowed down or taken any kind of pressure or persuasion from
02:58united states they are uh there are teams uh both the countries of both the countries which are
03:04working to resolve this issue but dr s jay shankar has said that there are so many other countries who
03:09also been who have been buying oil and energy from russia but uh india has been uh uh put on with
03:17these tariffs which is unfair and we've already given out those statements right thank you shivani for
03:23those details so clearly external affairs minister there flacking the fact that it's all unfair and
03:28that india has already put it out publicly
