Trump's words are estimated to make India feel sour! Indian Prime Minister Modi, who has just finished his visit to Cyprus, is on his way to Canada to attend the G7 summit. However, while Modi was on his way, Trump suddenly said that excluding Russia from the G7 was a big mistake. If anyone wants China to join and become the G9, I am not against it.

Why do Trump's words make India feel sour? Trump mentioned Russia and China in the issue of joining the G7. Regardless of Trump's considerations, one thing can be confirmed - Trump at least considers Russia and China as influential countries. In Trump's understanding, if the G7 needs to expand its membership, whether Russia and China are interested or not remains to be discussed, but in Trump's words, Russia and China are definitely in a more prioritized position. This is what Trump meant.

From India's perspective, India must have noticed that the U.S. did not even mention India. India is clearly being compared unfavorably. Everyone knows that Modi has always been active in attending the G7 summit. Despite the惨烈air disaster in India, this has not stopped Modi's schedule for participation. Attending the G7 summit is not only a way for India to highlight its importance and expand its influence, but also India's usual practice of cooperating with Western countries to exert pressure on us and gain benefits.

India is trying to get closer to the G7, but in reality, India cannot sit at the table. This is undoubtedly the reality India must face. Trump's words are certainly not something Modi would like to hear. If there were a G9, India would definitely wonder why India couldn't be the G10? Of course, we have no interest in becoming so-called G9, but the U.S. does not oppose our sitting at the table, while India wants to sit at the table, yet no one mentions it. This indeed makes India somewhat embarrassed!
