Congress MP Karti Chidambaram dismisses trade with Russia as reason behind tariff imposition
Aug 08, 2025
"I don't buy this for a minute that tariffs have been imposed on us because we trade with Russia. There is a far more sinister reason for this, and I believe that the Pakistan Army, through its commercial corporations, has a very strong commercial relationship, perhaps with the Trump administration. It's a fact that Field Marshal Munir is going to the US for the second time, which is unprecedented. There seems to be a very close tie between the Pak Army and the US establishment. As a fallout, this pressure is being put on India," Chidambaram told ANI.
