America Urges India To Reject BRICS: 'Do Business With the US'
The US Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, said that the United States could reach a trade agreement soon with New Delhi. Lutnick touched upon various pain points between the two nations and suggested that India should scale back its involvement in BRICS and maintain cordial business relations with the US. He said that India rubbed the US the wrong way after buying military equipment from its BRICS counterpart, Russia. “There were certain things that the Indian government did that generally rubbed the United States the wrong way. For instance, generally buying your military gear from Russia,” he said. To mend things, he said that the Modi government is now buying military arms from the US. “So I think India is starting to move towards buying military equipment from the United States, which then goes a long way,” he added.
