Trump and Modi to Resolve US Tariff Issues on Indian Russian Oil Purchases
US Trade Adviser Peter Navarro stated that President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have a strong working relationship and will resolve issues related to potential US tariffs on Indian imports tied to Russia's oil trade. The US Senate recently passed bipartisan legislation authorizing tariffs of up to 100% on countries, including India, that continue purchasing Russian oil and gas amid the Ukraine conflict. Navarro acknowledged India's increased Russian oil purchases post-invasion but said the issue has been addressed, emphasizing direct dialogue between the two leaders to manage the situation.
