Trump hints at imminent India-US trade deal, praises 'tough' PM Modi
This special report focuses on former US President Donald Trump's wide-ranging remarks about India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the APEC CEO Summit in Gyeongju, South Korea. Trump's most startling comment was his description of the Indian Prime Minister: 'He says, oh, and he looks like you'd like to have your father like he's a killer. He's tough as hell.' The former US President also reiterated his disputed claim that he single-handedly prevented a war between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan by threatening to impose crippling 250% tariffs on both nations. During the address, Trump mimicked PM Modi and recounted conversations with both leaders, while also expressing his 'great respect and love' for Modi and signaling that a trade deal between the US and India could be finalized soon. India has previously denied that any third party was involved in de-escalation efforts with Pakistan.
