[Global Network Report, Reporter, Li Ziyu] According to India Today, Russian Satellite News Agency and other media reports on the 26th, sources told Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung Zeitung that US President Trump has tried to talk to Indian Prime Minister Modi on the phone at least four times in recent weeks, but Modi refused to talk to him.

According to the Russian satellite news agency, the Frankfurter Zeitung, there are signs that Modi is dissatisfied with U.S. tariffs on India and Trump¡¯s remarks that India is a ¡°dead economy.¡±

As of press time, India and the United States have not yet responded to the above news.

Earlier, Trump signed an executive order on August 6th to impose an additional 25% tariff on Indian products exported to the United States on the grounds that India "directly or indirectly imports Russian oil". According to the executive order signed by Trump on July 31st, the United States will impose a 25% tariff on Indian goods exported to the United States from August 7th. After superimposing with the additional tariffs announced on the 6th, the overall tariff rate of 50% will be applied to Indian goods exported to the United States. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a notice on August 25th, local time, planning to impose a 50% tariff on Indian goods from 0:00 on August 27th. The Indian side said that the US tariff increase on India was "unfair, unjust and unreasonable" and India would "take all necessary actions" to safeguard national interests.

In addition, Modi said on August 2nd that India "will become the third largest economy in the world" and called on people to buy and promote local products. Indian media reported that this was Modi's indirect response to Trump's previous announcement that he would impose tariffs on Indian goods and call India a "dead economy".

India has severely humiliated Trump, and some say the battle with China is over

The Indians were very angry, and on August 23, Trump was even more violently humiliated.

In a way that is uniquely Indian.

On August 23, at India's historic Marbat festival, one of the most conspicuous scenes was a large number of Indians marching around a huge statue of Trump.

The Trump statue, wearing a golden tie, wearing a gorgeous red robe, can only be said to be a bit like Trump, with a more intense Indian taste.

Are the Indians paying tribute to Trump?

You are wrong, and, moreover, you are very misleading.

Indians are strongly protesting against Trump and Trump's 50% tariff on India.

On the Trump statue, there are also many slogans, which roughly mean:

¡°America to die!¡±

¡°Whoever builds a wall against our goods, his business will go bankrupt.¡±

"Scare our country with tariffs and India's iron fist will make them cry."

¡°He told India that you were my friend, but he secretly loved Pakistan.¡±

Some words, compared to Indian, are a bit vague to understand, but one word summarizes:The Indians are angry, and the United States is a knife behind you.

The most humiliating thing was the next step.

According to reports, during the Marbat Festival, Indians will burn a statue of "evil forces".

Unfortunately, in Indian words,"This year, Trump became a symbol of evil in the hearts of Hindus-his statue was burned in front of thousands of people."

Trump¡¯s paper image.

Could there be a more insulting way to Trump than this?

Just a few months ago, some Indians also placed Trump on the table, worshipped, presented bananas and various curry foods. Many still prayed silently and cast a vote for Trump.

A few months later, he was severely slapped in the face.

Trump did not say anything and imposed a 25% tariff on India. He also imposed an additional 25% tariff on the grounds that India purchased Russian oil.

As a result, Indian goods were exported to the United States at unprecedented tariffs of 50%.

The highest in the world, alongside Brazil.

It turns out that Indians thought they were close friends of the United States, but now they realize that India is the opponent of the United States.

That¡¯s not enough, Trump has also criticized India as a ¡°dead economy.¡±

Indians are being scolded stupid-we always boast that we are the fastest growing major economy in the world, but you actually call us a "dead economy"?

What's more, Modi has always claimed to be friends with Trump, and has also publicly stood up to Trump. In the words of Indians, "Modi always hugs Trump like a long-lost brother."

Modi has always cheated on himself and Trump is a friend.

Now, Trump has stabbed in the back, and India is hurt, aggrieved, and angry.

So, there was also during the Marbat Festival, the angry Indians publicly burned the bullshit of Trump statue.

It is said that now under Trump¡¯s social media account, the biggest rebel force is Indian netizens.

After all, there are many people in India, and their English is good. Many people go to Trump's account, criticizing Trump for being too arrogant, and exposing him to pedophilia, and so on.

And a lot of people in India are campaigning against Coca-Cola, against McDonald's.

This is a civil action, and what about the Indian government?

An anger still came to his face.

Although Trump once hinted that India has stopped buying Russian oil. However, Indian officials clearly denied that India would continue to buy things if there was no such thing at all.

India continues to buy, but the U.S. government continues to approve.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Basent recently scolded India for buying Russian oil for profit, which is fundamentally different from China. "I call it 'Indian arbitrage'. I buy Russian oil at a low price, process it into refined oil, and then resell it. It's unacceptable that this happens suddenly during the war."

I see that India¡¯s Foreign Minister Sujetin responded on the 23rd, and some pro-U.S. officials also accused others of doing business, ¡°too ridiculous, too ridiculous,¡± he said, his solution being, ¡°If you¡¯re having a problem buying Indian ready-made oil, then don¡¯t buy it.¡±

¡°We¡¯re not the biggest buyer of Russian oil, China is; we¡¯re not the biggest buyer of Russian gas, I¡¯m not very sure, maybe Europe is... In the past few years, the United States has told us that you have to do everything you can to keep the world¡¯s energy market stable, including buying Russian oil.

What do you mean?

You yourself are buying Russian oil, Russian fertilizers, Russian nuclear raw materials, but you blame India.

2. If you don't want to buy Indian refined oil, then don't buy it. No one is forcing you to buy it.

3. We bought Russian oil because you Americans encouraged us to maintain the stability of the world energy market...

But this kind of talk feels more like a chicken and a duck.

You can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep.I see, there are Indian netizens still angry message:The battle with China is over, and now it is the battle with the United States.

Indians placed Trump on the table for worship.

Finally, what do you think?

Let's say three superficial points.

First, India should have woken up long ago.

I see some Westerners mourning that Trump is undermining U.S. diplomacy with India for 20 years, pushing India to the side of Russia and China.

What to regret!

In fact, over the past 20 years, India has come together, and the fantasy of becoming an ally of the West is both a dream and more than a dream.

India is not Japan, after all, can the West not tolerate a rising China, but can it tolerate a rising individual India?

If India needs China, India is a code; if India does not need India, India is a broken shoe.

If the shoes are broken, sooner or later they will be discarded.

Trump just kicked the broken shoe into the trash in the most direct and most insulting way.

It must be said that in international politics there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests ¨C but even if the interests are out of balance, friendship becomes the most luxurious attachment.

Second, geopolitics is rapidly evolving.

We saw that on the day Trump waved the stick at India, the Indian side revealed that Modi would visit China.

Now, India has officially announced that Modi will attend the SCO Tianjin Summit.

But this must be a historic visit. After all, it is Modi's first visit to China in seven years after the Galwan Valley conflict.

Indeed, India should be happier with a neighbor like China, even in the worst of relations, has China said Trump insulted India?

In addition, Trump and Putin recently met and announced that they would suspend further sanctions against Russia. Will India, which has suffered from the disaster, at least the 25% sanctions, also suspend?

Looking at the news, the US-India trade negotiations originally scheduled for August have been postponed. Trump announced that a 38-year-old confidant would serve as ambassador to India.

It's just all kinds of public humiliation, which will be an unforgettable memory for Indians.

Between nations, dignity is more untradeable than interests.Once lost, more compromise can not be exchanged for respect.

Modi was stabbed in the back by Trump, cartoon picture

Third, test Modi¡¯s wisdom.

We all know the saying, "Modi immortal, mana is boundless".

I understand that this is more of an affirmation of Modi's wrist; Modi must also be thinking about countermeasures for Trump, who does not recognize his six relatives.

Where to go from here, who is a friend and who is an enemy, India really needs to know clearly.

But a few things are also certain.

In this world, not every country has enough backbone and confidence to say no to the United States!

Some countries always think that they are brilliant chess players, only to finally find that they are just abandoned pawns.

To be an enemy of the United States is dangerous, but to be a friend of the United States is sometimes even more deadly.

How did it come to this point? Perhaps India should also reflect deeply!

History never repeats itself, but it always has the same rhyme-what is burned today is a statue, and what is burned tomorrow may be an illusion of an era.

Of course, if Trump knew that his statue had suffered such Indian humiliation, he would have jumped three feet high.India, I am not done with you!
