US PRESIDENT Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he had a conversation with Indian prime minister Narendra Modi, mainly focused on trade.

"We talked about a lot of things, but mostly the world of trade," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.

Trump said the discussion also included energy issues, adding that Modi had assured him India would limit its oil purchases from Russia.

"He's not going to buy much oil from Russia. He wants to see that war end as much as I do," Trump said.

India and China are among the largest buyers of Russian seaborne crude exports.

Recently, Trump has targeted India for its Russian oil purchases, imposing tariffs on Indian exports to the US to discourage crude buying as he continues to pressure Moscow to reach a peace deal in Ukraine.

More UK homeowners are slashing asking prices as buyers push back

  • Homes that need a price cut take around 100 days to attract a buyer, compared with 28 days for accurately priced properties.
  • One in three property sales involved at least one asking price reduction, according to Savills.
  • Premium homes face some of the steepest price corrections as London's housing market remains under pressure.

Setting the right asking price could be the difference between selling a home in weeks or waiting months, according to new UK property market research.

Estate agent Savills has found that homeowners who overprice their properties are taking significantly longer to secure buyers, with many eventually forced to cut their asking price. The findings come as the UK housing market remains price-sensitive and buyers continue to be cautious.
