Trump and Modi to resolve tariff dispute

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will resolve the dispute over U.S. tariffs linked to India’s purchases of Russian oil. He framed the matter as one the two leaders would settle directly, citing their strong working relationship.

Navarro also said the issue had already been resolved and claimed credit for helping move India away from Russian oil trade. His remarks followed Senate action authorizing steep tariffs on major buyers of Russian oil, which Washington says helps finance Russia’s war in Ukraine.
