Trump Calls Modi a “Great Friend”, PM Modi Fully Reciprocates Amid Tariff Tensions

Trump बोले: “Modi mera dost hamesha rahega”; PM Modi ne kaha – sentiments ko poori tarah reciprocate karta hoon

New Delhi- India aur US ke beech trade aur tariff tensions ke bawajood, dono leaders ke recent statements ne ek naya positive signal diya hai. US President Donald Trump ne Friday ko Oval Office me kaha ki Bharat aur America ke relations “special” hain aur dosti me darar ki koi wajah nahi.

Trump ne kaha, “Main hamesha Modi ji ka dost rahunga, vo ek great Prime Minister hain. Haan, kuch policies par mujhe problem hai, par iska matlab ye nahi ki relations khatam ho gaye. India-US ka bond strong hai aur future me aur improve hoga.”

PM Narendra Modi ne Saturday subah X (Twitter) par iska jawab dete hue likha, “Deeply appreciate and fully reciprocate President Trump’s sentiments. Bharat aur America ke relations forward-looking aur strategic hain, jo global peace aur prosperity ke liye important hain.”

Tariff Tension ki Kahani

Ye dosti bhare statements tab aaye hain jab dono deshon ke relations ek mushkil phase se guzar rahe the. 6 August ko US ne India par 25% additional tariff impose kiya tha, kyunki Bharat ne Russia se oil kharidna continue kiya. Ye tariff pehle April me 25% laga tha, aur ab extra 25% aur add kar diya gaya, jisse total 50% ho gaya.

Trump ne openly bola, “Main disappointed hoon ki India Russia se itna oil buy kar raha hai.” Unka maanna hai ki isse US ke strategic interests hurt ho rahe hain.

Social Media Par Trump ka Taana

Kal hi Trump ne ek social media post me likha tha ki, “Lagta hai humne India ko China ke haath kho diya hai. India-Russia-China ke relations deepen ho rahe hain. May they have a long and prosperous future together.”

Ye remark uske baad aaya tha jab Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) ke summit me Modi, Putin aur Xi Jinping ek saath baithak karte hue dikh gaye the.

India ki Response Strategy

Is backdrop me PM Modi ka Trump ko positive jawab dena ek “ice-breaker” ki tarah maana ja raha hai. Experts ka kehna hai ki yeh ek diplomatic balancing act hai jisme Bharat apne national interests (jaise Russia se cheap oil kharidna) bhi pursue karega aur saath hi US ke sath apni partnership bhi maintain rakhega.

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar ne bhi media ko kaha, “Prime Minister Modi US ke relations ko top priority dete hain. President Trump ke saath unka personal rapport strong hai, aur talks abhi continue ho rahi hain.”

Interestingly, iss saal UN General Assembly me Modi khud address nahi karenge, balki Jaishankar speech dene wale hain. Analysts ke mutabiq ye bhi ek signal hai ki Bharat apna diplomatic approach carefully calibrate kar raha hai.

Aage Kya?

Political observers ka kehna hai ki dono taraf se jo positive statements aaye hain, wo ek tarah ka reset button hain. Agar tariff issue resolve ho jata hai to India-US trade deal ko nayi raftaar mil sakti hai. Saath hi, dono desh defense, technology aur clean energy projects me apna cooperation aur deepen karne ki koshish karenge.

Bottom Line

Tension ke bawajood, Trump aur Modi ke statements ye dikhate hain ki dosti intact hai. India-US ke relations ups and downs dekhte rahenge, lekin dono desh ek doosre ke liye strategic partners bane rahenge.
