US President Donald Trump has given a big statement about India. On Friday (September 05), he said that America has lost India and Russia at the hands of China. A few hours later, he made it clear that he is very disappointed with India because India is still buying a large amount of oil from Russia. Trump claimed that this is why his government has imposed a big tariff (fee) on India.

What did Trump say on relationship with PM Modi?

When Trump was asked, why did America lose India with China? So Trump said, “I don’t think we have lost India, but I was very disappointed that India is buying so much oil from Russia. I had also told this to India. After this we put a very big tariff on India, 50 percent big.”

However, amid criticism, Trump also underlined his personal relationship with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said, “I have a very good relationship with Modi ji. He is a great person. He came here a few months ago.”

Trump mentions PM Modi’s visit to White House

Trump also remembered PM Modi’s recent White House visit. He told, “We went to the daily garden, but the grass was completely wet there. It was a perfect place for the press conference. Then I said that let’s use the beautiful white stone instead of the White House, and it was very much liked by everyone.”

Always ready to improve relations with India: Trump

When the media asked if he was ready to rectify relations with India again, Trump replied, “Yes, I am always ready. Modi ji is my good friend and will live. He is a very good Prime Minister.
