Amid current tensions between Washington and Delhi over tariffs and purchase of Russian oil, US President Donald Trump said India and the United States have a 'special relationship' and there's nothing to worry about as the two countries "just have moments on occasion'.

'I'll always be friends with (Narendra) Modi' He's a great prime minister. He's great. But I just don't like what he's doing at this particular moment. But India and the United States have a special relationship. There's nothing to worry about. We just have moments on occasion,' Trump said in the Oval Office on Friday.

The president was responding to a question on whether he is ready to reset relations with India, as ties between the two countries continue to reel under possibly the worst phase in over two decades. Trump also said he is 'very disappointed" that India would be buying 'so much oil' from Russia.
