New York/Washington: President Donald Trump has described Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a “very smart man” and his “great friend” while emphasising that tariff talks between the US and India would “work out very well”.

The remarks assume significance as they came the same day Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri spoke with US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau to discuss bilateral trade, including the reduction of barriers to achieve a balanced trade relationship.

“Prime Minister Modi was here just recently and we have always been very good friends,” the US president said in the White House on Friday.

The remarks came days before Trump’s reciprocal tariffs on the United States’ trade partners kick in on April 2.

“India is one of the highest tariffing nations in the world.… it’s brutal, it’s brutal. They’re very smart. He (Modi) is a very smart man and a great friend of mine. We had very good talks. I think it’s going to work out very well between India and our country,” Trump said.

“And I want to say you have a great prime minister,” he said.

During their conversation, Misri and Landau “touched on the growing bilateral trade, defence and technology cooperation, and issues relating to mobility and migration”, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said in New Delhi.

US State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce said the two officials discussed “ongoing efforts to reduce barriers to achieve a fair and balanced bilateral trade relationship” and strengthen collaboration in defence and technology.”

US Assistant Trade Representative Brendan Lynch is currently in India and holding talks with his Indian interlocutors on firming up a bilateral trade agreement (BTA).

Prime Minister Modi visited Washington DC in February and held bilateral discussions with Trump. The visit came less than a month after Trump was sworn in as US President for a second term.

During Prime Minister Modi’s visit to the US last month, both sides announced plans to negotiate a mutually beneficial, multi-sector BTA.

In the past, Trump called India a “tariff king” and a “big abuser”.
