Trump in Damage Control Over US–India Tensions 🇺🇸🇮🇳

After weeks of friction over tariffs and energy imports, Donald Trump has attempted to downplay concerns about India–US relations.

“I will always be friends with Modi. He’s a great Prime Minister. I just don’t like what he’s doing at this particular moment. But India and the United States have a special relationship. There’s nothing to worry about,” Trump told reporters — even adding a laugh to lighten the mood.

In his trademark style, Trump went off-script with a story about a past press event:

“I get along very well with Modi. In fact, we went to the Rose Garden and the grass was so soaking wet. It was such a terrible place to have a news conference. I said, well, let’s use a beautiful white stone, emblematic of the White House… but we had a news conference on the grass. It was my last one there because everybody sunk in. Every reporter ruined their shoes.”

The remarks came right after India firmly rejected Washington’s demand to stop buying Russian oil.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman was clear:

“Where we buy our oil from, especially a big-ticket foreign exchange item, we will have to take a call on what suits us best. We will undoubtedly be buying Russian oil.”

India also dismissed a separate push from U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who reportedly urged New Delhi to withdraw from BRICS.
