WASHINGTON, (AP) — At an event celebrating the Hindu holiday Diwali, Trump said he spoke with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi about trade and “a lot of things.”

Trump has put a 25% tariff on goods from India because of its buying of Russian oil, putting the combined tax rate that the U.S. president has placed on imports from the country this year at 50%.

The U.S. president described the situation with India on trade as “interesting.”
