Trump calls Modi a 'fantastic man': Says – I will meet my friend next week, heaps praise on Modi, targeting India

Former US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday, September 17, that he will meet Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi next week. However, Trump did not give any information about where they will meet. At the same time Trump called Modi a 'fantastic man' despite criticizing India on trade.

Trump targets India, praises Modi

Speaking at a rally in Michigan, Trump described PM Modi as a great person. On the other hand, in the same rally, he called India a 'gross abuser' of trade relations. He talked about the tariff war with the US and China. Notably, US President Joe Biden will organize a summit with the leaders of Australia, India and Japan in Delaware on September 21. Analysts say Washington sees New Delhi as a weapon against China's growing influence in Asia.

Good friendship between PM Modi and Trump

Trump said – if I become the President, I will treat 'like with like'

Donald Trump said that if he wins the election, America will also go tit for tat. If someone imposes an import duty of 10 paise or two dollars or 250 per cent on us, we will collect the same import duty from them. That's how we get back to free trade. Trump has earlier criticized India for imposing heavy import duties on many American products.
