Relations between Trump and Modi have worsened, tariffs increased
The relations between US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have deteriorated. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

During a phone conversation on June 17, Trump’s discussion with Modi about the necessity of nominating the Pakistani leader for the Nobel Peace Prize caused significant dissatisfaction. The New York Times, citing sources familiar with the conversation, reported that these remarks were negatively received by the Indian side.

According to Trump, the Pakistani leader played an important role in stopping the shootings between New Delhi and Islamabad and deserves the Nobel Prize. However, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi strongly criticized this view and emphasized that the US should not play any role in this conflict.

Modi’s refusal to support Trump’s nomination led to a deterioration in political relations between the two countries. Additionally, the imposition of an additional 25% tariff on Indian products by Trump also negatively affected the relations.

This policy came into effect on August 27, and currently, the total tariff on Indian imports to the US has reached 50%. Trump’s criticism of the Indian economy and his remarks about the country purchasing oil from Russia further intensified the tensions.

According to Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Trump attempted to contact Modi by phone four times in recent weeks, but the Indian side reportedly declined the conversations. The Economist highlighted Trump’s strong desire to win the Nobel Prize.

These events have caused a new crisis in political relations between the US and India. Experts warn that Trump’s references to the Nobel Prize may lead to further cooling of relations.

Thus, it has become clear that diplomatic relations between the two countries are currently at a difficult stage.
