US President Donald Trump has called new Indian tariffs on US products "unacceptable" and demanded that they be withdrawn.

India imposed retaliatory tauriffs on 28 US products earlier in June, after the US announced it was withdrawing India's preferential trade treatment.

Mr Trump's criticism came a day after the two sides had downplayed tensions.

He is due to meet Mr Modi on the sidelines of the G20 summit, which begins on 28 June in Osaka, Japan.
