Two days after US President Donald Trump announced 25% tariffs on Indian imports and an additional ‘penalty’, a screenshot of a post by him, allegedly shared on the platform TruthSocial, seeking a response from the Indian Prime Minister, is being widely circulated.<\/p>\n

In the post, of which there’s only a screenshot, the US President reportedly says: “So hard to believe that Prime Minister Modi STILL hasn’t responded to my tweets, statements, or tariff concerns. We gave India so much —great deals, defense support, big crowds and yet, TOTAL SILENCE. Not even a thank you!…. I’ve always liked Modi, but this kind of disrespect will NOT be forgotten. Bad for business. Bad for friendship…”<\/p>\n

On July 30, Trump posted<\/a> on TruthSocial that the US would impose 25% tariffs on Indian imports. He also threatened to impose an additional ‘penalty’ on Indian goods owing to the country’s large-scale purchases of Russian crude and defence equipment. In his post, he added that India had very high tariffs and the most “strenuous obnoxious non-monetary” trade barriers.<\/p>\n

The viral screenshot of Trump’s second post, claiming that PM Modi had not responded to his tariff concerns or thanked him despite his contributions, including brokering the ceasefire with Pakistan, was shared by several users on X; some said he was behaving like a “jilted lover”.
