Earlier, Trump wrote on Truth Social that the US and India would resume negotiations to resolve “trade barriers” and said he looked forward to speaking with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In a separate post, he urged the European Union (EU) to impose tariffs of up to 100% on India and China to increase pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin.
