India has  brushed aside US President Donald Trump’s diatribe against it, saying the partnership between the two countries “weathered” several transitions and challenges.

PTI reported  that the comments by the ministry of external affairs came a day after Trump imposed 25 percent tariff on India and described the Indian economy as “dead”.

“India and the United States share a comprehensive global strategic partnership anchored in shared interests, democratic values, and robust people-to-people ties,” MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said.

“This partnership has weathered several transitions and challenges,” he said at his weekly media briefing.

“We remain focused on the substantive agenda that our two countries have committed to and are confident that the relationship will continue to move forward,” Jaiswal said.

To questions on India-US defence ties, Jaiswal said the two countries have a strong defence partnership which has been strengthened over the last several years.

There is potential for this partnership to grow further, he said.
