President Trump criticized the tariff and trade relationship between the US and India on Monday, saying it has been heavily one-sided for decades.
"In other words, they sell us massive amounts of goods, their biggest 'client,' but we sell them very little - Until now a totally one sided relationship, and it has been for many decades," Trump posted.
"It has been a totally one sided disaster! Also, India buys most of its oil and military products from Russia, very little from the US," he added.

Trump's comments came as India Prime Minister Narendra Modi has embarked on bids to strengthen ties with China and Russia as relations with the US have deteriorated.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration is still talking with trading partners, even after the US appeals court ruled most of Trump's tariffs illegal, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said Sunday.
"Our trading partners, they continue to work very closely with us on negotiations," he said in an interview on Fox News. "People are moving forward with their deals, regardless of what this court may say in the interim."
A federal appeals court ruled Friday that most of Trump's global tariffs were illegal, reaffirming an earlier ruling by the Court of International Trade and saying he exceeded his authority in using emergency powers to impose them. The judges, however, allowed the tariffs to remain in place while the case moves through an appeals process.
Trump responded to the decision on Truth Social, saying, "ALL TARIFFS ARE STILL IN EFFECT!" He also called the court "Highly Partisan" and claimed that "with the help of the United States Supreme Court, we will use [tariffs] to benefit our nation."
It means the "reciprocal" tariffs Trump unveiled on dozens of US trade partners (which you can see in the graphic below) now face a fresh bout of legal limbo.
Elsewhere, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has authorized plans to retaliate against the 50% US tariffs imposed by President Trump, though the Brazilian leader emphasized he is looking to negotiate with the US administration.
Mexico also plans to raise tariffs on Chinese goods under its 2026 budget to protect local industries. The move comes amid US pressure, as Trump has claimed cheap Chinese products are entering Mexico before heading north.
