U.S. President Donald Trump recently declared that India and the United States share a “special relationship,” calling Prime Minister Modi “a great leader” and assuring that “there’s nothing to worry about” despite rising trade tensions . In response, PM Modi tweeted that he “deeply appreciate[s] and fully reciprocate[s]” Trump’s sentiments, affirming their “forward-looking Comprehensive and Global Strategic Partnership” . These exchanges come against the backdrop of Trump’s imposition of steep 50% tariffs—initially 25%, later doubled—on Indian goods, as a penalty for New Delhi’s purchase of Russian oil, straining bilateral trade relations.
