Trump, in a year-end address to the nation, touted his success in dealing with migrants coming into the US from around the world, taking up American jobs and driving up housing costs.
Trump said New Delhi will "continue to pay massive tariffs" if they do not cease buying oil from Russia, adding that "they (India) don't want to do that."
The opposition party slammed Modi after he welcomed Trump's positive comments on trade talks, expressing confidence that the negotiations would unlock the partnership's limitless potential.
Rahul Gandhi pointed out that Trump had made the claim 29 times and stressed that if he was lying, then PM Modi should say so in his address to the House.
