Trump optimist about US-India trade talks 'working out very well', terms Modi 'smart man'
NEW YORK/WASHINGTON: (Mar 29) US President Donald Trump has described Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a "very smart man" and a "great friend of mine" while emphasising that tariff talks would "work out very well between India and our country".
The remarks assume significance since Trump has repeatedly criticised the high tariffs charged by India and other countries on American goods.
"Prime Minister Modi was here just recently and we have always been very good friends," the US president said in the White House Friday.
