Trump has changed his words about India! After a visit to China, India unexpectedly received a gift! On September 6th, according to foreign media reports, the foreign media stated that in the White House, US President Trump made the following important statement on Indo-US relations. Trump said, "I will always be a friend of Modi, he is a great prime minister, India and the United States have a special relationship. There's nothing to worry about. I don't think we have lost India."
Trump said, "I get along well with (Indian Prime Minister) Modi, as you know, he came here a few months ago, and we went to the Rose Garden. Indeed, it was unexpected that after Modi visited China, Trump's attitude towards India changed so dramatically. In fact, previously, Trump had claimed that India was a "dying economy," imposed a 25% "punitive" tariff on India, and announced that he would not attend the Quad meeting hosted by India. It was only a few days ago that Trump's attitude towards India changed.
This change in Trump's attitude indicates what? This probably indicates that the rapid easing of China-India relations and India's growing positive role in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization have made Trump increasingly aware that the US has made a big mistake in handling Indo-US relations. Now, Trump is showing favor to India, which is clearly an attempt to proactively ease Indo-US relations, adjust US policy toward India, and prevent India from getting too close to us.
Evidently, Trump's change is an unexpected joy for India. But in a way, it is also a test for India. This test is whether India will further ease its relations with us or believe in the US once again. However, after the huge fluctuations in Indo-US relations, facing the sudden goodwill from the US, India's heart probably won't feel at ease.
