New Delhi: Amid tensions over tariffs, Donald Trump has made a big statement about India and Russia. On his Truth social media post, Donald Trump wrote that it looks like we have lost India and Russia to dangerous China. Donald Trump has posted a picture of President Jinping, Putin and Prime Minister Modi at the SCO with his post. Trump wrote that he hopes their relationship will be long and prosperous.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping were seen together at the SCO summit in Tianjin. Meanwhile, the cordial relations between the three leaders signaled to the world that a new world order is taking shape amidst the US President's tariff war. Many experts had described the meeting as very significant.
After the SCO summit, Trump had called the India-US trade agreement a one-sided tragedy. "American companies are unable to sell their goods in India. India buys large amounts of oil and military equipment from Russia, but much less from the US. India has now offered to completely reduce its tariffs, but this is coming late.
They should have done this years ago. Several former US officials said that Trump's tariffs have turned the bilateral relationship between Washington and New Delhi upside down, pushing India towards China.
