The photo of President Trump hugging Pakistan’s PM Shahbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, who fled after being defeated by the Indian Army in Operation Sindoor, is the biggest proof that America is no longer India’s trading partner, but rather its biggest competitor.
America is now afraid of India. Donald Trump assumed that India would stand up to him in the same way Pakistan did. But Prime Minister Narendra Modi, busy with his work, doesn’t even answer Donald Trump’s phone. In such a situation, Donald Trump is pitting these two against him to irritate Prime Minister Narendra Modi. But now Donald Trump is openly criticizing not only Prime Minister Narendra Modi but also Putin.
Trump has suddenly started praising Zelensky. But at the very moment Trump was speaking nonsense about Putin and embracing Shahbaz and Munir, Prime Minister Narendra Modi turned the tables. Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a major announcement regarding Russia and Russian weapons. Met with Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev. The two leaders discussed ways to increase cooperation in agriculture, fertilizers, food processing, and other areas of mutual benefit.
Following this, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that Russia is a time-tested partner. This statement was made during the Uttar Pradesh International Trade Show. Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, responding to US tariffs, said that self-reliance is crucial for development. He then added that we are also becoming self-reliant in the defence sector.
In fact, even Putin doesn’t give Donald Trump a damn. Frustrated by this, Trump declared, “I’m angry with Putin. Putin is a paper tiger in front of me. I will defeat Putin.” Trump stated that Russia will only be defeated if we punish India, because Russia and India are friends. After saying this, Donald Trump announced that, starting October 1st, he would impose a 100% tariff on branded and patented medicines, except for those companies setting up manufacturing plants in the US. This threat was specifically directed at India, as India exports 30% of its medicines to the US. According to one estimate, approximately 4 out of every 10 medicines prescribed by doctors in the US are manufactured by Indian companies.
Donald Trump, not satisfied with cursing Putin and imposing tariffs on India, deliberately embraced Pakistani PM Shahbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement is also important because, while Pakistan is begging for weapons from the United States, India is becoming self-sufficient in weapons. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also stated that our goal is to have every weapon component marked “Made in India,” and Russia is assisting us in this mission.
