  "account": "White House Trade Adviser Peter Navarro hinted on Tuesday that US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have a \"very good working relationship\" that will resolve concerns over India's increased imports of Russian oil. Navarro's comments came after the US Senate passed a bill that could allow Trump to impose tariffs of up to 100% on goods from countries continuing to buy Russian oil and gas. Navarro stated that the two leaders would address the issue directly without his intervention. He also mentioned that India did not engage in Russian oil trade prior to Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine but significantly increased its purchases afterward. Navarro alleged that India had even sold refined petroleum products on behalf of Russia, thereby supporting Moscow's war efforts. The White House expects the issue to be resolved between the two leaders, and Navarro suggested that a recent opinion article he wrote in the Financial Times may have influenced this outcome.",
