US president made announcement on Truth Social after a Monday call with India’s prime minister
Donald Trump has announced he is cutting tariffs on India after prime minister Narendra Modi agreed to stop buying Russian oil.
After a call with Modi on Monday, Trump on Truth Social said: “This will help END THE WAR in Ukraine, which is taking place right now, with thousands of people dying each and every week!”
India is the second largest purchaser of Russian crude and the imports have increased tensions between the two countries.
Trump said that India, as agreeing to stop buying Russian oil, would also buy more oil from the United States and potentially Venezuela.
