US official says Trump, Modi have good working relations amid tariff threat

A US official stated that President Trump and Prime Minister Modi maintain good working relations and will resolve ongoing trade tensions. The remarks come as the US Senate advances the Lindsey Graham Bill, which would impose tariffs on the top five countries purchasing Russian crude oil, including India and China.

The legislation represents a potential escalation in trade disputes between the two nations. However, the US official expressed optimism that the established rapport between the two leaders would help navigate the issue constructively.
