In a recent social media post, a video has surdata-faced showing indian Prime minister Narendra Modi speaking at an event, with the caption "ASKING VOTES FOR trump LIKE A BEGGAR." The video, shared by user roshan Rai, appears to criticize Modi's perceived data-alignment with former U.S. President donald trump, especially in light of Trump's recent announcement of imposing a 25% tariff on indian goods, along with an additional penalty for India's trade relations with Russia.
The context of this criticism is rooted in the deteriorating trade relations between the U.S. and india under Trump's administration. trump has consistently targeted India's high tariffs, labeling the country as a "tariff king" and expressing frustration over the trade deficit. His latest move to impose tariffs and penalties is seen as a direct response to India's continued engagement with russia, particularly in the energy and military sectors, despite global pressures to isolate russia due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. This action has reignited discussions on the balance of power and mutual respect in international trade agreements, with many questioning whether Modi's government is adequately defending India's interests.
