'To face China, the US must have friend ...': Nikki Haley is pushing India for 'hard dialogue' with Trump over Russian oil

Former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has repeated the importance of rebuilding the US India ratio to counter China. In a post on X, Haley said: “To face China, the United States must have a friend in India.” She said: “India must take Trump’s point about Russian oil seriously and work with the White House to find a solution. The sooner the better.” Haley noted that “navigation problems such as trade differences and Russian oil imports require hard dialogue.” “But we should not lose sight of the most important: our shared goals,” she said. “Decades of friendship and good will between the world’s two largest democracies provides a solid basis to move beyond the current turbulence,” Haley added.
