Prime Minister Narendra Modi Claimed Donald Trump’s leadership is vital for global peace, stability, and prosperity after the US President agrees to cut tariffs on India after it stop buying Russian oil.

He wrote on X revealing he had a phone conversation with the U.S President and support his effort in wanting peace between Russia and Ukraine.

The move comes after months of Trump pressing India to cut its reliance on cheap Russian crude. India has taken advantage of reduced Russian oil prices as much of the world has sought to isolate Moscow for its February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

Trump said that India would also start to reduce its import taxes on U.S. goods to zero and buy $500 billion worth of American products.

“This will help END THE WAR in Ukraine, which is taking place right now, with thousands of people dying each and every week!” Trump said in a Truth Social post announcing the tariff reduction on India.
