Trump MELTDOWN After Xi-Putin-Modi Bond Sends Shockwaves | Trump Declares He LOST India & Russia

Former U.S. President Donald Trump reacted sharply to the show of unity between China, Russia, and India at the SCO Summit, declaring that India and Russia appear “lost to deepest, darkest China.” His remarks come after Chinese President Xi Jinping hosted Vladimir Putin and Narendra Modi as chief guests at an event marking 80 years since WWII. India hit back after Trump’s adviser Peter Navarro accused “Brahmins” of profiteering from Russian oil, calling the claims “inaccurate and misleading.” Growing tariffs and tensions now strain U.S.-India relations further. #TrumpOnChina #XiPutinModi #SCOsummit #TrumpVsChina #IndiaUSRelations #RussiaChinaIndia #TrumpRemarks #Geopolitics #USIndiaTensions #TrumpNews #XiPutinAlliance #ChinaRussiaIndia #ModiPutinXi #GlobalPolitics #BreakingNews #SCO2025 #TrumpOnIndia #IndiaRejectsNavarro #TradeWarIndiaUS #TrumpVsModi #TrumpVsXi #TrumpVsPutin #USChinaTensions #TrumpQuotes #DarkestChina #IndiaRussiaChina #TrumpIndiaTariffs #SCOUnity #WorldPolitics #TrumpResponse ~HT.178~ED.102~GR.124~
