'Europe Funding War Against Itself With India-EU Trade Deal': Team Trump

The United States has warned that Europe is financing a "war" against itself by signing the "mother of all trade deals" with India. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Europe may have significantly phased out direct energy ties with Moscow, but they are indirectly funding the Russia-Ukraine war by purchasing Russian oil products refined in India, even as Washington targeted New Delhi with tariffs.

Bessent's remarks came as India and the European Union concluded negotiations on their long-pending free trade agreement, with the deal set to be formally announced on Tuesday.
