- India, the United States shares extensive partnership, says Modi.
- Trump trifles his earlier comments on “losing India”.
- The US president says he will always be friends with Modi.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday New Delhi and Washington still shared “very positive” ties after US President Donald Trump confirmed their personal friendship and neglected his previous comments about “losing India” to China.
The exchange comes in the midst of tribes after Washington introduced tariffs of up to 50% on Indian imports and accused New Delhi of fueling Moscow’s deadly attack on Ukraine by buying Russian oil.
But Trump and Modi, both right -wing populists, have shared a strong bond since the first period of the US president.
“Deeply appreciated and retaliate President Trump’s feelings and positive assessment of our bond,” Modi wrote on X, adding that India and the United States shared a “very positive and forward -looking comprehensive and global strategic partnership.”
Previously, Trump told journalists he “always wants to be friends with modi”.
“India and the United States have a special relationship. There is nothing to worry about,” Trump said, and trumped his earlier comments about “losing India” to China.
Last week, Modi visited China to participate in a collection of the Shanghai cooperation organization, his first visit to the country in seven years and signaled a thaw between the two Asian powers.
Trump has proved annoyed by New Delhi as he seeks credit for what he said was Nobel Prize -worthy Diplomacy for the Mediation of Peace between Pakistan and India after the worst conflict in decades between the nuclear armed neighbors in May.
