‘Modi likes me, but…’ Trump gave a surprising answer to JD Vance on sending Indian army to Ukraine

US Vice President JD Vance wanted the deployment of Indian troops in Ukraine as a peacekeeping mission. He had directly suggested this to President Donald Trump during a very important and high-level meeting of the White House in the year 2025. At that time, Donald Trump was making various efforts to stop the ongoing horrific war in Ukraine and he was constantly discussing this sensitive issue with his close ones. However, this particular suggestion of JD Vance was completely rejected by Donald Trump.

This big claim related to this confidential conversation between Vance and Trump has been made in a new book ‘Regime Change’. This much-discussed book by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, which claims to have exposed many big secrets of the Trump administration to the world, has been released on Tuesday itself, which has created a stir in international politics as soon as it was released.

The names of India and Saudi Arabia were discussed in the White House meeting.

In this new book, it has been told in detail that there was a serious discussion within the White House in the year 2025 regarding the possible role of Indian troops in Ukraine. In this important meeting, Vice President JD Vance had given an idea and suggested that some large and neutral countries outside Europe, such as India or Saudi Arabia, could send their troops for a possible peace-keeping mission in Ukraine. While presenting his views at the White House table, JD Vance had described Saudi Arabia and India as the best and practical options for this mission.

President Donald Trump had laughed off the Vice President’s suggestion.

According to the claims of the book, President Donald Trump took this serious statement of JD Vance very lightly and laughed it off. Responding to Vance, Trump said that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi likes him personally, but despite this the Indian leadership would never take such a step. Trump believed that Indians would not pay any price for any such external thing. In such a situation, Trump suggested that it would be better if European countries like Britain or France send their troops to Ukraine. India or Saudi Arabia would not be a good choice for such a mission.

This book provides an extremely interesting glimpse of the Trump administration’s internal and confidential discussions about a possible post-war security arrangement for Ukraine and the division of responsibilities at the international level. It is also clearly stated in the book that Trump had openly admitted in that meeting that he does not like Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at all. During the conversation, Trump had repeatedly called Zelensky a very weak leader in terms of making a deal with Russia.

Donald Trump’s stance so far regarding Ukraine war

Let us remind you that during his last US Presidential election, Donald Trump had made a big promise to the world that he would stop this terrible war going on between Russia and Ukraine. Trump had repeatedly told election forums that if he became the President of America again, he would immediately stop this bloody war that has been going on since February 2022. This was the reason why after taking the official oath of office as President again in the beginning of the year 2025, Donald Trump also started efforts to work on his behalf to stop this war.

Last year, Donald Trump tried hard to achieve a strong ceasefire by holding direct talks with both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin. However, despite all diplomatic efforts, Trump could not get any significant success or benefit in his efforts. Perhaps this is the reason why after this failure, Trump has gradually tried to distance himself a little from this complex issue of Ukraine. Now even on global forums, he is seen completely avoiding making sharp statements on this issue like before.
