Trump tells India it can count on him during Delhi embassy event

The Story in Brief

US President Donald Trump joined the US Embassy’s 250th Independence Day celebrations in New Delhi virtually on Sunday and expressed strong support for India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Trump called Modi a close friend and said, “India can count on me 100 per cent.” He also said he loved India and praised the Prime Minister.

Trump linked the relationship to expanding cooperation in trade, defence and the Quad. He praised US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is visiting India for the Quad Foreign Ministers’ Meeting. The remarks came as New Delhi and Washington work to deepen strategic and economic ties, the Millennium Post reports.

The Indian Opinion

Warm words from a US president can help diplomacy, but neither friendship nor talk of record economies guarantees progress for India. The loudest narratives may cast this as a personal alliance or dismiss it as ceremony. The useful test is harder and more practical: do the two governments produce measurable gains in trade, defence cooperation and Quad coordination after the meeting?
