John Bolton, former US National Security Advisor, analyzed the current state of the relationship between Donald Trump and Narendra Modi, saying the once-close friendship has faded. In an interview, Bolton suggested that this shift carries a lesson, particularly for other leaders. He used the example of Keir Starmer, suggesting that a favorable relationship with Trump might offer limited benefits, but could not fully shield against the impacts of Trump’s decision-making. The context for these comments includes escalating tensions between India and the US, following Trump’s introduction of tariffs, coupled with PM Modi’s meetings with Putin and Jinping. Bolton, a vocal critic of Trump, offered that Trump approaches international relations through the prism of personal ties, implying this approach influences US foreign policy.
