< p > Modi has refused Trump's invitation to visit the US! On June 20, according to The Indian Express, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that after his official visit to Canada, he declined President Donald Trump's invitation to visit Washington because he had to go to the holy site of Lord Jagannath in Odisha. Modi said, "President Trump called me and said since you are already in Canada, why not come to Washington as well? Let's have dinner and talk." < / p > < p > Modi expressed gratitude for your warm invitation, but I must go to the holy site of Mahaprabhu. Clearly, Modi is refusing Trump's invitation on the grounds of attending domestic affairs. However, this is only the surface reason. From India's perspective, if Trump genuinely invited Modi, the US should have made an official invitation arrangement before the G7 summit. Now, with a last-minute decision, it seems somewhat insufficiently respectful. < / p > < p > But the more important reason is that the contradictions between the US and India are no small matter. As for the issue of the conflict between India and Pakistan, it's one thing for the US not to support India, but what really upset India was that the US officially invited the Pakistani Army Chief of Staff, which made India feel very uncomfortable. Trump repeatedly claimed that he mediated the conflict between India and Pakistan and avoided a nuclear war, which made India, who values independence and believes it can fully control the situation without external assistance, feel very embarrassed. < / p > < p > Furthermore, the US demands that India stay away from BRICS countries and not promote de-dollarization, and also warns India to stay away from Russian military equipment and purchase more American weapons, which puts increasing pressure on India to take sides and makes it harder to balance various forces. Clearly, the relationship between the US and India has changed. In fact, for the purpose of boosting domestic confidence, Modi needs to show appropriate firmness towards the US. Therefore, Modi has every reason to refuse Trump's last-minute invitation. < / p > < p >< img src = "//p3-sign.toutiaoimg.com/tos-cn-i-ezhpy3drpa/a8ed97643732444ca6985f468150c134~tplv-obj:1086:668.image?_iz=97245&bid=15&from=post&gid=1835507913512202&lk3s=06827d14&x-expires=1758240000&x-signature=Y2AJgr76cTUhdDjKVhoUl%2BS4Z9M%3D" / >< img src = "//p3-sign.toutiaoimg.com/tos-cn-i-ezhpy3drpa/cd9f1dc26bd7416d8c031429510636e0~tplv-obj:1054:786.image?_iz=97245&bid=15&from=post&gid=1835507913512202&lk3s=06827d14&x-expires=1758240000&x-signature=E7a4M9Cmnoy%2FUdB9WnfdZwjifiU%3D" / >< / p > < p > Original article: https://www.toutiao.com/article/1835507913512202/ < / p > < p > Statement: This article only represents the author's personal opinion. < / p >
