A day after saying that US can raise tariffs on India very quickly, President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that Prime Miner Narendra Modi is “not that happy with me”.

He pointed to the levies imposed Washington on New Delhi for its purchases of Russian oil as a reason.

Trump was speaking at the House GOP Member Retreat where he reiterated his “very good relationship” with Modi.

‘Sir, may I see you’

Trump also said that “Prime Miner Modi came to see me, ‘Sir, may I see you please’. Yes.”

He remarked: “I have a very good relationship with him. He’s not that happy with me because you know they’re paying a lot of tariffs now because they’re not doing the oil, but they are, they’ve now reduced it very substantially, as you know, from Russia,” Trump said.Story continues below this ad
