India-US Relations: The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has finally responded to an old video of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, in which he shares a controversial remark on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘political career’. The video has once again surfaced on social media platforms and has prompted the MEA to give a response. The viral clip is from October 2025 and is being widely talked about. You can find the previous video here, in which Trump makes the debatable statement.
What does Trump say in the video?
U.S. President Donald Trump, in the old video, said, “Modi is a great man. He loves Trump. I don’t know if the word ‘love’. I don’t want you to take that any different. I don’t want to destroy his political career.” This was stated during a White House press conference in the year 2025.
Trump is effectively saying that “Modi loves Trump, because I can destroy his political career”!
What does this mean?
It can only mean that Modi is forced to love Trump because Trump has something which if revealed, would destroy Modi’s political career.#EpsteinFiles pic.twitter.com/60F2e67FX9— Prashant Bhushan (@pbhushan1) February 9, 2026
