Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would “give PM Modi some advice on dealing with Trump, but privately,” calling both leaders his “terrific friends.” He described the US-India relationship as “very solid” and urged both nations to resolve the tariff dispute. Earlier this week, US President Donald Trump doubled tariffs on Indian exports to 50%, citing India’s continued imports of Russian crude oil. India condemned the move as “unfair, unjustified and unreasonable,” warning it could hurt sectors like textiles and marine exports. Modi vowed not to compromise on farmers’ and fishermen’s interests, saying he was ready to “pay the price.” (PC: X)
