Trump threatens India with fresh tariffs on Russian oil, calls PM Modi a ‘good guy’
New Delhi: US President Donald Trump threatened that he can “very quickly” increase tariffs on India if it continues to trade with Russia, with particular reference to its oil purchases.
“Modi’s a very good guy. Yes. He’s a good guy. He knew I was not happy, and it was important to make me happy. They do trade. And we can raise tariffs on them very quickly, and it would be very bad for them…And I’ll tell you something. The Russian economy is lousy,” Trump said Sunday during a press gaggle aboard Air Force One.
