By Samira Vishwas

New Delhi, 17 December. US President Donald Trump, who had soured political relations with India by imposing 50 percent tariff on Indian products, is now trying to improve relations. In this sequence, the US Embassy in India shared a message from President Trump, in which he praised India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

President Trump said in this message, ‘India is home to one of the world’s most ancient civilizations. It is a wonderful country and an important strategic partner of America in the Indo-Pacific region. We have a great friend in Prime Minister Modi. This message was posted on X.

This post has come to light at a time when there was a phone conversation between PM Modi and President Trump a few days ago. In the talks, emphasis was laid on increasing trade, critical technologies, energy, defense and security cooperation. Both countries are also in talks to finalize a trade agreement. However, trade relations have been affected after America imposed 50 percent tariff on Indian products.

India-Ethiopia relations turn into strategic partnership

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his first official visit to Ethiopia announced the upgradation of India-Ethiopia relations to a strategic partnership. After a bilateral meeting with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali in Addis Ababa, PM Modi said that this step will bring new energy, new enthusiasm and new depth in the relations between the two countries and a clear roadmap will be prepared to realize the full potential of cooperation. He said, ‘Both countries are democratic powers committed to peace and human welfare and fellow travelers in the Global South.’

During this, PM Modi was also honored with Ethiopia’s highest honor ‘Great Honor Mark of Ethiopia’. Apart from strategic partnership, seven agreements were signed between the two countries. These include an Implementation Agreement on Cooperation in the Training of United Nations Peacekeeping Missions and a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Ethiopia’s debt restructuring under the G-20 Common Framework.
