A senior White House adviser, Peter Navarro, says US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have a “very good working relationship” and will “work it out” regarding a possible tariff dispute linked to Russian oil.
Navarro’s remarks come after the US Senate passes legislation that could enable Trump to impose tariffs of up to 100% on goods from countries that continue buying Russian oil and gas. The proposed measures would affect international trade partners, including India, which has been purchasing Russian energy under various arrangements.
Both outlets report Navarro’s comments as an indication that the US administration expects a political resolution through direct engagement between Washington and New Delhi, rather than an immediate, automatic implementation of tariffs. The coverage differs mainly in emphasis: one frames the statement as confidence in bilateral problem-solving, while the other highlights the recent US legislative development that creates the underlying tariff risk.
