US President Donald Trump has renewed his warning that India could face “massive" tariffs unless it curbs its purchases of Russian oil, asserting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally assured him that New Delhi would stop such imports.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said, “PM Modi)told me, ‘I’m not going to be doing the Russian oil thing.’ But if they keep doing it, they’ll be paying massive tariffs."
When asked about the Indian government’s response that it was unaware of any recent conversation between him and PM Modi, Trump replied, “But if they want to say that, then they’ll just continue to pay massive tariffs — and they don’t want to do that."
His latest remarks come after his unusual statement in the Oval Office on Wednesday, where Trump said Modi had assured him that India would stop buying oil from Russia, calling it “a big step."
