Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar said at an event in New York this week that Washington was insensitive to India's concerns about "terrorism," friendly toward India's main rival Pakistan, and pursued "self-centered" trade policies that disproportionately harmed the Global South. Analysts noted that this marked a new hawkish stance in New Delhi's approach to dealing with the Donald Trump administration amid escalating bilateral tensions. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with Donald Trump by phone on Wednesday, with Modi calling the conversation "productive," a cool and formal description far removed from his past references to Donald Trump as a "good friend."
