Washington: Former U.S. President Donald Trump has stirred fresh controversy with remarks targeting India and Russia, suggesting that both nations seem “lost” to what he described as “the deepest, darkest China.”
Speaking at a political rally, Trump criticized U.S. foreign policy, claiming Washington was allowing Beijing to expand its influence unchecked. He alleged that China’s growing partnerships with countries like Russia and India signaled a major geopolitical shift unfavorable to American interests.
The comments sparked strong reactions worldwide, with analysts viewing them as part of Trump’s ongoing narrative portraying China as the biggest global rival. While some of his supporters echoed the sentiment, critics accused him of oversimplifying complex international relations.
Observers note that the statement could further strain discussions around U.S. ties with India and Russia, both key players in global diplomacy.
