Trump says talks with India's Modi were going well and he will visit

  • Speaking in the Oval Office, US President Donald Trump said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has largely stopped buying oil from Russia and he may visit India soon.
  • Tariffs were framed as a tool to curb purchases of Russian oil amid the war in Ukraine, with Washington imposing 50 per cent tariffs, including 25 per cent additional duties tied to India's crude imports from Russia.
  • MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, `India is a significant importer of oil and gas. It has been our consistent priority to safeguard the interests of the Indian consumer in a volatile energy scenario. Our import policies are guided entirely by this objective,` rebutting Trump's claim after recent meetings.
  • Observers say the remarks signal a possible thaw in ties, but analysts note uncertainty given past deterioration after tariffs and the previous Trump visit to India in February 2020 that did not materialise.
  • Trump's comments align with Washington's push to isolate Russia, as in recent weeks he claimed Modi pledged to reduce Russian crude purchases amid ongoing trade talks.
