President Trump: 'Lost India and Russia to Deepest, Darkest, China'
Modi-Xi-Putin meeting at Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Summit sparks reaction from Donald Trump on Truth Social
Sept 5, 2025 - US President Donald Trump has indirectly acknowledged the deepening ties between India, China and Russia with a post on Truth Social where he said, “Looks like we’ve lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest, China”. He then added, “May they have a long and prosperous future together!”.
This comment has come after Chinese President Xi Jinping hosted Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Summit in Tianjin, China, earlier this week. During their meet, the three leaders discussed cooperation in areas ranging from energy to security.
Trump, who had earlier ruled out the possibility of anti-US ties being formed because of the tariff hikes imposed by the US, also shared a photo of the three leaders at the Summit.
