Former US NSA John Bolton Criticizes US President Trump for Pushing PM Modi Closer to Russia and China Over India Tariffs

Former US National Security Advisor John Bolton on Thursday (local time) lambasted US President Donald Trump for pushing Prime Minister Narendra Modi closer to Russia and China in the backdrop of 50% tariffs imposed on India, ruining decades of hard work by the previous US administration.
 
 
In a post on X, Bolton stated, The White House has set US-India relations back decades, pushing Modi closer to Russia and China. Beijing has cast itself as an alternative to the US and Donald Trump.
 
 
Bolton slammed Trump’s tariff policy, asserting that it has “shredded” decades of Western efforts to align India away from its Cold War ties with the then Soviet Union (Russia) and address the growing threat from China.
