India's Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal addressed a resurfaced video where US President Donald Trump praised PM Modi, stating "Modi is a great man, that he loves Trump" and expressing he doesn't want to "destroy his political career." Jaiswal clarified he hadn't seen the video but stated India would "take appropriate action" if such remarks exist. The comments originated from Trump's October press conference with the FBI Director. Additionally, Jaiswal confirmed that recent US factsheet amendments on the India-US interim trade agreement framework reflect "shared understandings" between both nations. He emphasized the February 7 joint statement remains the basis for mutual understanding as both countries work toward finalizing the agreement.
