US Threatens Higher Tariffs on India Over Russian Oil

President Donald Trump said the US might put higher taxes on things India sells to the US if India keeps buying oil from Russia.

He said this while talking to reporters.

He also mentioned that India's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, is a good person and wants to make Trump happy.

The US has already put a 50% tax on some Indian goods, partly because India buys oil from Russia.

Meanwhile, there are some problems between the US and Venezuela, a country with lots of oil.

But India doesn't buy much oil from Venezuela anymore, so it won't affect India much.

India used to buy a lot of oil from Venezuela, but that changed because of US rules.

Now, if those rules change, it might help some Indian companies that have investments in Venezuela's oil fields.

The Congress party in India criticized Modi's approach to diplomacy, saying that his personal friendship with Trump hasn't stopped the US from threatening higher tariffs.

They argue that India's foreign policy should be based on strong institutions, not just personal relationships.
