US President Donald Trump said in a social media post that it “looks like we’ve lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest China,” sarcastically wishing the three countries a “prosperous future.”
His comment came after Chinese President Xi Jinping hosted Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Tianjin. The leaders discussed cooperation on energy, security, and other issues, highlighting growing ties that diverge from Washington’s positions on Ukraine and global trade.
Trump noted that US-India relations have cooled in recent years, citing tariffs on Indian goods and criticism of India’s energy trade with Russia. He argued that India benefits disproportionately from trade with the US while relying heavily on Russian oil and military products, reports UNB.
