Trump cites high tariffs as reason for Modi's dissatisfaction.
US President Donald Trump recently indicated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is dissatisfied due to the high tariffs imposed by the US on Indian purchases of Russian oil, which he noted have reached 50 percent. During remarks at a House GOP Member Retreat, Trump mentioned that India has significantly reduced its Russian oil purchases and expressed a willingness to expedite the delivery of Apache helicopters, citing a five-year wait for the order of 68 units. This situation underscores the complexities of US-India trade relations and the ongoing strategic dialogue as both countries navigate geopolitical challenges and defense procurement.
