New Delhi, Oct. 20 -- US President Trump said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi confirmed India will not engage in the Russian oil trade. He warned that if India claims otherwise, it would face high tariffs.

US President Donald Trump said, "I spoke with Prime Minister Modi of India, and he said he's not going to be doing the Russian oil thing."

On being questioned about the Indian government saying it was not aware of any conversation between Modi and Trump, the US president responded, "But if they want to say that, then they'll just continue to pay massive tariffs, and they don't want to do that."
