US President Donald Trump on Tuesday claimed that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is "not that happy" with him because India is facing heavy tariffs for stopping the purchase of Russian oil.

Trump said that I have a very good relationship with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but he is not very happy with me because you know that due to not trading oil, he is now having to pay very high tariffs.

Modi came to meet me

Donald Trump, in his address to a meeting of House Republican Party members, also claimed that "Prime Minister Modi came to see me and said, 'Sir, can I meet with you?' Yes." "I have a very good relationship with him. He's not that happy with me because, you know, they were paying very high tariffs right now because they weren't trading oil with Russia, but now they've reduced it significantly."

The US has imposed a 50 percent tariff on India, including a 25 percent tariff on the purchase of Russian oil. Trump also said that India has told him it has been waiting five years for Apache helicopters. He said, "We are changing that. We are changing that. India has ordered 68 Apache helicopters."
