Modi and Trump Review Bilateral Ties Amid New US Sanctions Law

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Donald Trump reviewed bilateral ties in a telephone call following the U.S. Congress passing a new Russian sanctions law.

During talks in New York, Indian officials raised concerns over the U.S. SRIA legislation, which mandates potential 100% tariffs on goods from countries importing Russian oil.

Mr. Modi and Mr. Trump agreed to maintain close engagement to advance their Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership ahead of the G20 summit in December.
