Former U.S. President Donald Trump ignited a political stir in Washington on September 5, 2025, with a controversial statement regarding India and China. In a social media post, Trump remarked, “Looks like we’ve lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest China,” raising eyebrows worldwide. He later clarified his statement, saying, “Don’t think we have,” attempting to calm growing tensions.
Trump’s comments came amid heightened geopolitical concerns, especially after the recent Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit, where leaders including Russia’s Vladimir Putin and China’s Xi Jinping met. The U.S. has been closely watching increasing alliances in Asia and their impact on global dynamics.
The statement by Trump has triggered strong reactions in India. The Ministry of External Affairs officially rejected Trump’s claims as “inaccurate and misleading,” emphasizing the ongoing strategic partnerships India maintains internationally, including with the U.S.
Trump also made a sarcastic remark wishing all three nations a “long and prosperous future together,” further fueling debate over his stance on international relations. His advisers have since tried to soften the fallout, but the remarks underscore the fragile nature of geopolitical ties in the current era.
The international community and analysts are closely eyeing these developments as they may influence diplomatic conversations in the coming months. Stay tuned to Questiqa World News for more latest updates.
