NEW DELHI: United States President Donald Trump Thursday praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi again as both nations eye a month-long trade deal to materialise.
“I like your Prime Minister a lot. He is a good friend of mine, and we get along well. We have a good relationship,” Trump said.
Expressing optimism about the impending trade deal with New Delhi, Trump said the United States is "making a lot of money with India".
“For years, India took advantage of the United States. They charged us tremendous tariffs and paid nothing. Now it is the exact reverse and we are making a lot of money with India. But we will get to a deal,” he added.
Trump's latest remark comes a day after his administration proposed an additional 12.5% tariff on imports from 60 economies, including India.
