Will Speak To PM Modi "In Upcoming Weeks", Says Trump Amid Tariff Row

United States President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that the US and India will resume negotiations to address "trade barriers" between the two countries.

In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump wrote, "I am pleased to announce that India and the United States of America are continuing negotiations to address the Trade Barriers between our two Nations. I look forward to speaking with my very good friend, Prime Minister Modi, in the upcoming weeks. I feel certain that there will be no difficulty in coming to a successful conclusion for both of our Great Countries!" The announcement comes weeks after the US imposed a 50 per cent tariff on Indian goods, including an additional 25 per cent penalty on purchases of Russian oil.
