New Delhi is proceeding with caution after President Donald Trump appeared to soften his tone against India following weeks of tensions between the two nations marked by the US’s 50% tariffs on goods from the South Asian country.
Trump said at the White House on Friday there was “nothing to worry about” with US-India ties and the two countries had a “special relationship.” He called Narendra Modi a “great prime minister” and said he would always be friends with him. Modi responded hours later with a post on X, saying he “deeply” appreciated and reciprocated the sentiments.
