US President Donald Trump praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and expressed hope for a positive trade deal with India. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Trump called Modi “a fantastic man” and “a friend.” “We are going to have a good deal,” Trump said in remarks to Indian media. His comments came despite strained trade ties and high US tariffs on Indian goods. Trump again linked trade relief to India’s purchase of Russian oil and warned of higher tariffs. India has denied giving any assurances on oil imports and said decisions are based on national interest. Talks between the two countries are ongoing. (PC: Reuters)
