  US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are set to meet in Alaska on August 15. Even after this, Trump's rhetoric has not stopped. In an interview with Fox News Radio, US President Donald Trump said that the tariffs imposed on India may have prompted Russian President Vladimir Putin to meet with him. Everything has an effect - Trump Trump further said that everything has an effect. He said that the tariffs imposed on India have deprived them of buying oil from Russia. This has affected Russia to some extent. Earlier this month, Trump ordered even higher duties on Indian goods in protest against New Delhi's continued purchase of Russian oil. This has taken the duty level on several products to 50 percent - the highest for any US trading partner. Trump said this about Putin Trump further indicated that the tariffs imposed on India may have played a role in Putin agreeing to meet. He said that of course, when you lose your second largest customer and maybe your first largest customer as well, I think it probably played a role. Why is the meeting taking place only in Alaska? Why are Trump and Putin meeting in Alaska instead of the entire US, because Alaska has been chosen for the meeting symbolically and practically. ICC arrest warrant against Putin is also a reason The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued an international arrest warrant against President Vladimir Putin for war crimes in Ukraine on March 17, 2023. Issuing the arrest warrant, the ICC said that Putin is accused of forcibly taking Ukrainian children to Russia.
