US President Donald Trump has reiterated his stance that India will face significant tariffs if it continues unrestricted imports of Russian oil. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday, Trump claimed that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi assured him that India would limit its purchases of Russian oil. ‘I spoke with Prime Minister Modi of India, and he said he’s not going to be doing the Russian oil thing,’ Trump stated, echoing comments he made earlier in the week. However, the Indian government has denied any such conversation took place. Trump responded to this denial by asserting that India would continue to pay ‘massive tariffs’ if it did not comply with the restrictions. This development highlights the ongoing diplomatic and economic tensions between the US and India, particularly in the context of global energy markets and international trade policies.
