Trump’s Candid Take On PM Modi: India Balances Russian Oil, SCO Diplomacy & U.S Trade Pressures

Donald Trump has once again spoken about his tough conversations with Prime Minister Narendra Modi — this time against the backdrop of India’s Russian oil imports, U.S. tariff tensions, and shifting power equations inside the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO). As Trump hints at his role in global geopolitics, India faces pressure balancing Moscow, Washington, and Beijing. Is Modi walking a razor’s edge between allies and rivals?

00:00India and Pakistan were going to end up in a nuclear war if I didn't stop them.

00:05You know, it was sort of strange. I saw they were fighting.

00:08Then I saw seven jets were shot down.

00:11And I'm talking to a very terrific man, Modi of India.

00:19And I say, what's going on with you in Pakistan?

00:21I said, what's going on?

00:23I said, I don't want to make a trade deal.

00:24No, no, no, we want to make a trade deal.

00:26I said, no, no, I don't want to make a trade deal with you.

00:29You're going to have a nuclear war.

00:30You guys are going to end up in a nuclear war.

00:33We're going to put tariffs on you that are so high.

00:35You were there, Howard, right?

00:37You're going to put tariffs on you that were so high.

00:39I don't give a damn.

00:40Your head's going to spin.

00:42You're not going to end up in a war.

00:44Within about five hours, it was done.

00:47It was done.

00:48Now, maybe it starts again.

00:50I don't know.

00:50I don't think so, but I'll stop it.

00:52When you went to Alaska, you had mentioned that there would be severe consequences if Vladimir Putin would not agree to us.

00:56Yeah.

00:56After that summit that was rolled back, given the negotiations, is he back on the clock now?

01:04I want to see that deal end.

01:07It's very serious what I have in mind if I have to do it.

01:12But I want to see it end.

01:14I think that in many ways he's there.

01:17Sometimes he'll be there and Zelensky won't be there.

01:20You know, it's like, who do we have today?

01:23I've got to get them both at the same time.

01:26But I want to have it end.

01:27We have economic sanctions.

01:29I'm talking about economic because we're not going to get into a world war.

01:34I'll tell you what.

01:36In my opinion, if I didn't win this race, Ukraine could have ended up in a world war.

01:42We're not going to end up in a world war anymore, but it would have ended up possibly in a world war.

01:47That would have been it.

01:49That would have been it.

01:50They were ready to trot.

01:52But just like India and Pakistan, we're going to end up in a nuclear war if I didn't stop them.

01:58You know, it was sort of strange.

02:00I saw they were fighting.

02:01Then I saw seven jets were shot down.

02:04I said, that's not good.

02:05That's a lot of jets, you know.

02:08$150 million planes were shot down.

02:10A lot of them.

02:12Seven, maybe more than that.

02:13They didn't even report the real number.

02:16And I'm talking to a very terrific man, Modi of India.

02:24And I say, what's going on with you in Pakistan?

02:26Then I'm talking to Pakistan on trade.

02:29I said, what's going on with you in India?

02:32And the hatred was tremendous.

02:34Now, this has been going on for a hell of a long time, like sometimes with different names for hundreds of years.

02:41But I said, what's going on?

02:44I said, I don't want to make a trade deal.

02:45No, no, no.

02:46We want to make a trade deal.

02:47I said, no, no.

02:48I don't want to make a trade deal with you.

02:50You're going to have a nuclear war.

02:52You guys are going to end up in a nuclear war.

02:55And that was very important to them.

02:58I said, call me back tomorrow, but we're not going to do any deals with you.

03:01Or we're going to put tariffs on you that are so high.

03:04You were there, Howard, right?

03:05Yes.

03:06You're going to put tariffs on you that were so high.

03:08I don't give a damn.

03:09Your head's going to spin.

03:11You're not going to end up in a war.

03:12Within about five hours, it was done.

03:16It was done.

03:17Now, maybe it starts again.

03:19I don't know.

03:19I don't think so.

03:20But I'll stop it if it does.

03:23We can't let these things happen.

03:25And the Russia-Ukraine situation, last week, 7,012 soldiers died.
