Prime Minister Narendra Modi has rejected four telephone calls from US President Donald Trump in recent weeks as more than 25 percent tariffs have been continued on Indian goods for the purchase of trade tension between the two nations on Indian goods for the purchase of Russian crude oil, German newspaper Frankfarter Angimine Zetung said.
A similar report made by Nikkei Asia in Japan indicates a rapid disastrous relations between the US and India, yet the two governments had earlier called their partnership “the most resultal of the 21st century”.

Frankfurt Aggaimin Zitung (FAZ) claimed, “Trump has tried four times to get Modi over the phone in recent weeks. But Modi refused to take the call.” The sources were not named in the report.
Both Washington and New Delhi have not responded to the report immediately.
On August 24, Japan -based news magazine, Nikkei Asia quoted Indian diplomatic experts as saying, “Trump recently tried to call Modi in search of an agreement. But the Indian leader continuously refused to take a call, extended the disappointment of Trump.”
The reports stated that PM Narendra Modi’s refusal was linked to the apprehensions that Donald Trump could incorrectly present the result of the negotiations, especially on the issues of India -Pakistan. This comes after Trump was repeated, but the rejected claims that they prevented a nuclear conflict between the two neighbors through trade pressure, rejected by the Government of India.
Modi also turned down Trump’s last minute invitation in Washington in late June after the G20 summit in Canada, where the two met the leaders as the US President was released early.
It was said that Trump had wanted Modi at the White House at the White House with Asim Munir, the head of the Pakistani Army, to show himself as a peacemaker. However, India strongly objected to what is being seen as a false equivalence between “a criminal of terrorism and a victim of terrorism”.
Former US National Security Advisor John Bolton, who himself collided with Trump, said India seems to be “deeply suffering” because it has been excluded for tariffs and has been approved by the threats while Russia and China have faced little pressure.
Bolton wrote, “Long India hangs to dry, New Delhi-Washington’s relationship spoils.”
