New Delhi: What will India-America relations be like under Trump’s rule? A round of speculation has already begun on this. But the conversation between Prime Minister Modi and Donald Trump showed what the future of India and America will look like. Donald Trump has called Prime Minister Modi a wonderful man and India a wonderful country. But America must remember that India is no longer a laggard. India is now writing its own destiny. Whose country doesn’t make or change its policies under pressure? Even in the enmity between America and Russia, India’s stance has remained intact.
In fact, there was a phone conversation between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Donald Trump on Wednesday. The way Donald Trump praised India as a true friend in this conversation sends a clear message that America’s policies will not be anti-India. Donald Trump won the US presidential election while Kamala Harris lost. If sources are to be believed, in the conversation after the victory, Donald Trump praised Prime Minister Modi and called him a wonderful man and praised India and called it a wonderful country. Prime Minister Modi and Donald Trump reiterated their commitment to working together.
First, let us know what the phone conversation between the two leaders looked like.
There was a telephone conversation between Donald Trump and Prime Minister Modi, Prime Minister Modi himself gave this information in his ex-post. He wrote: “Had a wonderful conversation with my friend, President Donald Trump, congratulating him on his great victory.” We look forward to working together again to strengthen India-US relations in the areas of technology, defense, energy, to further strengthen space travel and many other areas. According to sources, both leaders reiterated their determination to work together for world peace. Trump said the whole world loves Prime Minister Modi. India is a wonderful country and the Indian Prime Minister is a wonderful person.
India resisted American pressure
If sources are to be believed, Donald Trump told Prime Minister Modi that he considers him and India as his true friends. He said Prime Minister Modi was one of the first leaders he spoke to after his victory. Donald Trump has tried these things to woo Prime Minister Modi and India. But India will also pursue its own interests and not become anyone’s stooge. Proof of this has been provided many times. Even when India was pressured by America to buy oil, India kept its back straight. Even then, India had clearly stated that it would continue to purchase crude oil from Russia. India’s Modi government had clearly communicated to America’s Biden administration that it will continue to buy oil from wherever India needs it for energy security.
The friendship is strong, the politics are ours
America did not like the friendship between India and Russia from the beginning. No matter who is in power in America, the White House has clear policies. This means that India should not establish further trade relations with its friend Russia. America wants India to trade more with America instead of Russia. Be it oil or weapons, America wants India to do business only with oil and not with Russia. But India’s stance on these matters was clear: wherever the goods are available at good and low prices, trade will take place only from there. Even though Donald Trump will try to woo India in such a situation, the new attitude of the new India is clear. The friendship is solid, the politics are our own.
