Trump-Modi ‘very good working relationship’ to fix Russian oil tariff issue? White House Adviser Navarro drops big hint

US Trade Adviser Peter Navarro has suggested that US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will resolve the issue of US tariffs on Indian imports due to India's purchases of Russian oil. This comes after the US Senate passed legislation that could allow Trump to impose tariffs of up to 100% on goods from countries that continue buying Russian oil.

Navarro stated that Trump and Modi have a "very good working relationship" and would address the issue directly, indicating that Washington expects the issue to be handled through discussions between the two leaders.
