U.S. President Donald Trump said on Jan. 4 that his administration could increase tariffs on imports from India if the country keeps buying Russian oil, as the United States seeks to push Russia to end the war in Ukraine.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi knew that the continued purchase of Russian oil could affect U.S.–India trade relations.
