U.S. President Donald Trump said Prime Minister Narendra Modi is “not that happy with me” due to steep tariffs Washington has imposed on Indian goods, particularly linked to India’s purchases of Russian oil, during remarks at a House GOP retreat in Washington. He reiterated that despite a “very good relationship,” New Delhi is bearing high tariff costs, partly from a 50 % duty, including a 25 % levy tied to Russian oil imports. Trump also referenced long-pending Apache helicopter deliveries to India. The comments reflect ongoing trade tensions amid efforts to pressure India over energy and bilateral commerce. (PC: Reuters)
