Modi’s India takes on Trump more openly, from ‘terrorism’ to tariffs | Narendra Modi News | Al Jazeera

At an event in New York, India’s Foreign Minister S Jaishankar criticized Washington for being insensitive to India’s concerns about terrorism, warming relations with Pakistan, and pursuing self-centered trade policies harming the Global South. This marks a more openly critical stance amid rising bilateral tensions, especially under Donald Trump’s presidency. Additionally, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, facing domestic pressure, described a recent phone call with Trump as “productive,” a departure from his previous characterization of Trump as a “good friend.”
