US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi share a “very good working relationship” and would resolve differences over the tariff issue linked to India’s purchase of Russian oil, according to US Senior Counsellor for Trade and Manufacturing Peter Navarro.
Responding to a question, Navarro referred to an op-ed he had written in the Financial Times around six to eight months ago, in which he argued that India had not been involved in the Russian oil trade before Moscow invaded Ukraine but had subsequently increased its purchases and exported large volumes of refined products, which he said helped support Russia’s war effort.
