Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday shared that he held a “very good and detailed conversation with my friend President Putin,” as President Trump has ramped up tariff threats this week against New Delhi for Russian oil purchases.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday he will not compromise the interests of the country's farmers even if he has to pay a heavy price, in his first comments after U.S. President Donald Trump's salvo of a 50% tariff on Indian goods.

The friendliness between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Donald Trump was seen as a relationship like no other.
