Prime Minister Narendra Modi responded to US President Donald Trump’s remark on “resetting ties”, saying he “deeply appreciates and fully reciprocates President Trump's sentiments”. In a post on X, PM Modi added that, “India and the US have a very positive and forward-looking comprehensive and global strategic partnership.” 

“Deeply appreciate and fully reciprocate President Trump's sentiments and positive assessment of our ties. India and the US have a very positive and forward-looking Comprehensive and Global Strategic Partnership,” the post said, tagging the @realDonaldTrump and @POTUS handles. 

Earlier in the day, Trump changed his stance on losing “India and Russia to China”, saying that he does not think that happened, in a press conference at the White House. He mentioned that he “gets along well” with PM Modi. 

“I always will, I'll always be friends with Modi. He's a great Prime minister, he's great. I'll always be friends. But 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. We just have moments on occasion,” Trump said. 

Trump made a U-turn from his comment made in a Truth Social post about losing India and Russia to China, with a picture of PM Modi with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping. “Looks like we’ve lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest China. May they have a long and prosperous future together!” the post said.
