🇺🇸 US President Donald Trump has made four attempts to speak with 🇮🇳 Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the phone in the past weeks but the latter did not take the calls, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper reported, citing sources.

The paper points out that earlier, Trump shocked India by imposing the country with 25% tariffs and calling it a "dead economy."

"There are signs indicating that Modi felt insulted," Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung writes, adding that Modi’s unwillingness to hold a phone conversation with Trump demonstrates the extent to which the Indian premier was irritated by what the US president had done, TASS reported.

The newspaper also notes that the way Trump is perceived in India has considerably changed, particularly due to his statements about plans to boost relations with Pakistan.

India and the United States launched talks on a large-scale trade agreement in February, following Modi’s visit to Washington. The two countries seek to increase annual trade to $500 billion by 2030.

The document was expected to be signed in the fall. India’s delegation made several trips to Washington to hold talks on the document; a US delegation’s visit to India for the sixth round of talks, set for August 25, was canceled.

On August 6, the US raised tariffs on Indian goods by 25% to 50%, citing New Delhi’s purchases of Russian oil and petroleum products.

Trump criticized the South Asian nation for having always purchased the bulk of defense equipment from Russia and being the largest buyer of Russian energy, alongside China.

The Indian Foreign Ministry condemned criticism from the US and the EU over Russian oil imports as unjustified. The increased tariffs are set to take effect on August 27.

The world has a better future with Russia, China & India than with the US/West.

The US/West so called world order was built to benefit only themselves and steal both material and human resources from the rest of the world.

They never transfer knowledge or expertise like the Chinese or Russians or Indians.

Not surprised. They are not in good terms. So, it is expected. That's all

If the news is true, then Modi knows Trump will utilise the conversation and unilaterally declare that India promised not to buy Russian Oil and take the credit.
Taking Trump's call is risky - he'll immediately say that India has agreed on this new trade deal

This exact action the bull of America need, he would be forced to give respect to fellow president.

Attack is the best form of defence.

India is buying cheap Russian crude oil. Which has been internationally banned by sanctions.

Nice one from PM Modi unlike some low self-esteem Nigerian opposition that were crying when Nigeria was not invited to meeting with Trump.

Honestly USA is really an Eldorado,

Imagine telling the whole world that they don't need there products and services.
Stating that;
If they must export to USA it will be charged with high tariffs
Or
Come and produce it in USA 😊

Trump is really a business man not your regular politician 🤣

I love me a people who are sufficiently comfortable with their culture and native heritage.

Compare Modi's dressing here with that of African presidents who dress up in suits and tie to meet their Western counterparts.

As much as I disliked Buhari, his poise and elegant bearing in caftans and danshiki while traveling overseas were fitting of an African president.
Watching documentaries of his international engagements during his 'death' gave me a real sense of pride.

He was just the guy who will command your respect and admiration from a kilometer away.
Man was so presidential even though his soul was unpresidential.
