A German newspaper has reported that US President Donald Trump tried to call Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi four times in recent weeks, but Modi refused to speak. The report said this showed both Modi’s anger and caution after the US imposed 50% tariffs on Indian goods, the highest after Brazil. Washington also penalized India for buying oil from Russia. Trump earlier called India’s economy “dead,” which Modi countered by saying India was moving towards being a top 3 economy. Analysts suggest Trump’s actions may push India closer to China as ties between New Delhi and Washington face strain. (PC: India Today)
