Speaking in the Lok Sabha on the US trade deal, AIMIM chief and MP Asaduddin Owaisi said that Trump issued an executive order stating that if we buy Russian oil directly or indirectly, they will impose 25% tariffs. “Who is this ‘white-skinned man’ sitting there dictating terms to us? Did we gain independence for this? We’ll buy oil from whomever we want—who are you to tell us otherwise? It’s tragic that the government remains silent… Why are we bowing so low before this ‘white-skinned man’? Where is our self-respect?”
