Trump Says U.S. Has “Lost India and Russia to Deepest, Darkest China”
Washington / New Delhi, September 5, 2025 — U.S. President Donald Trump sparked a major diplomatic reaction when he posted on Truth Social: “Looks like we’ve lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest China. May they have a long and prosperous future together!” The comment came just days after the SCO Summit in Tianjin, where India’s PM Narendra Modi, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, and China’s Xi Jinping appeared publicly together—marking a rising shift in geopolitical alliances.
Diplomatic Fallout
Trump’s post followed a broader U.S.–India trade dispute, where the administration raised tariffs on Indian imports to as high as 50%, sparking Indian criticism and deepening diplomatic strain. Experts say Trump’s strategy risks isolating traditional U.S. partners and driving them closer to rival groupings like BRICS.
Geopolitical Responses
Observers across political spectrums interpreted Trump’s remark as both:
- A reflection of his transactional “America First” posture, prioritizing trade leverage over strategic alliances.
- A political jibe, aimed at highlighting perceived shifts in global alignment despite longstanding U.S.–India cooperation.
With India resisting U.S. pressure over energy sourcing and aligning more closely with Russia and China, Trump’s message underscores the deepening complexity of global power blocs.
