Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani is set to meet US President Donald Trump on September 12 as India faces steep tariffs and scrutiny over Russian oil imports. Ivanka Trump is expected to play a key role in facilitating talks

Even as India-US tariff impasse continues, Reliance Industries Chairman, Mukesh Ambani is set to meet US President Donald Trump on September 12, according to a report by Business World.

The report stated that Ivanka Trump is expected to play a key role in facilitating discussions that could pave the way for a US-India trade agreement.

The expected meeting will come at a time when India is facing sharp 50 per cent tariff including 25 per cent tariff imposed by Trump as an alleged punishment for Russian oil and Trump’s trade advisor claiming Modi’s ‘big oil lobby’ is benefiting from the cheap oil deal between the two countries

Mukesh Ambani had met President Trump at a private party in January shortly before the inauguration ceremony but Indian billionaire has been stuck in the diplomatic crosswire as US upped the ante against India. 

According to data from the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) cited by AlJazeera, Russian crude comprised just 3% of RIL’s Jamnagar refinery’s total crude imports in 2021. Since the war in Ukraine, this share has surged to an average of 50% in 2025.
