TRUMP SAYS HE DISCUSSED TRADE WITH INDIA’S MODI – Trump added that energy was also part of the discussion
U.S. President Donald Trump said he spoke with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with their conversation focused largely on trade.
Trump added that energy was also part of the discussion, saying Modi assured him that India would be limiting its oil purchases from Russia. India and China are the two top buyers of Russian seaborne crude exports.
Trump has recently targeted India for its Russian oil purchases, imposing tariffs on Indian exports to the U.S. to discourage the country’s crude buying as he seeks to pressure Moscow to negotiate a peace deal in Ukraine.
