PM Modi’s response to Trump: Deeply appreciate and fully reciprocate President Trump's sentiments

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.
