US President Donald Trump has given a big statement about India. On Friday (September 05), he said that America has lost India and Russia at the hands of China. A few hours later, he made it clear that he is very disappointed with India because India is still buying a large amount of oil from Russia. Trump claimed that this is why his government has imposed a big tariff (fee) on India.
What did Trump say on relationship with PM Modi?
When Trump was asked, why did America lose India with China? So Trump said, “I don’t think we have lost India, but I was very disappointed that India is buying so much oil from Russia. I had also told this to India. After this we put a very big tariff on India, 50 percent big.”
However, amid criticism, Trump also underlined his personal relationship with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said, “I have a very good relationship with Modi ji. He is a great person. He came here a few months ago.”
Trump mentions PM Modi’s visit to White House
Trump also remembered PM Modi’s recent White House visit. He told, “We went to the daily garden, but the grass was completely wet there. It was a perfect place for the press conference. Then I said that let’s use the beautiful white stone instead of the White House, and it was very much liked by everyone.”
Always ready to improve relations with India: Trump
When the media asked if he was ready to rectify relations with India again, Trump replied, “Yes, I am always ready. Modi ji is my good friend and will live. He is a very good Prime Minister. Just at this time I do not like some of his things, but India and America are strong and special. There is no matter of concern.”
Trump hoped on business talks
Trump also said that business talks with many countries including India are going well and the results are coming positive. He said that the relations between America and India are in a little difficult period. He says that America has lost India and Russia in “influence of China”.
