After their leaders met with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week, US President Donald Trump claimed on Friday that Russia and India appear to have been “lost” to China. He expressed frustration at Moscow and New Delhi as Beijing attempts to establish a new global order.
It appears that deepest, darkest China has supplanted Russia and India. I hope their future together is filled with success and longevity. Trump said in a social media post that included a picture of the three leaders at Xi’s China summit.
India’s foreign ministry informed reporters in New Delhi that it had nothing to say when they asked about Trump’s post. A request for response was not immediately answered by the Chinese foreign ministry, and it was not immediately possible to get in touch with Kremlin officials.
