Trump just showed favor to India, and India immediately started getting cozy with the United States! On September 5th, Trump just said that he will always remain friends with Modi, who is a great prime minister. India and the United States have a special relationship. There's nothing to worry about! But it didn't take more than 24 hours before Modi personally responded to Trump, stating that he deeply appreciates and fully agrees with President Trump's views and positive evaluation of our bilateral relations.
India and the United States have a positive and forward-looking comprehensive global strategic partnership. It is evident that Modi's quick and positive response seems as if the previous unpleasant incidents between the two countries never happened. The fact is, Trump has not reduced the tariffs on India at all, and Trump has also not shown any intention of attending the Quad summit held in India.
Why is Modi responding so urgently? This indicates that Modi is clearly under significant pressure. Modi does not want to miss the olive branch thrown by Trump, and intends to use this opportunity to ease the U.S.-India relationship and create an opportunity for U.S.-India negotiations. However, the more eager India appears, the easier it may be for the United States to detect India's true intentions, which means that even if U.S.-India negotiations occur, the United States may impose very harsh conditions on India.
In fact, while the United States shows favor to India, it also speaks very harshly towards India. Recently, the U.S. Commerce Secretary Rutenberg stated that currently, India neither wants to open its market nor stop purchasing Russian oil, and doesn't want to leave the BRICS. They want to stand with China and Russia. Such an India is not worth keeping, let it go. Obviously, perhaps India has overestimated the goodwill of the United States.
