During a joint press conference between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former US President Donald Trump, an American journalist posed a pointed question to Modi, highlighting a contrast between Trump’s leadership and what he termed “Biden’s incompetence and weakness” in the past four years.
Before Modi could reply, Trump interjected with a chuckle, stating, “That’s your question, but I’ll answer it.” He concurred with the journalist’s perspective, labeling the prior administration’s global handling as “gross incompetence.”
Trump asserted that the global community had faced challenges due to what he characterized as weak US leadership but offered reassurance that the situation had significantly improved under his governance. “Even some of the media that we wouldn’t prefer has been writing that this is a much different country right now,” he added, emphasizing that a strong and “good” America benefits the world, including India.
Reaffirming his position on US-India relations, Trump stated, “We’re going to have a fantastic relationship, and it’ll make both countries much stronger.”

Modi, maintaining his usual diplomatic demeanor, nodded along as Trump spoke, without directly responding to the inquiry about Biden.
