Trump praises Modi as ‘angel,' ‘killer’

US President Donald Trump announced plans to visit India to improve relations, praising Indian leader Narendra Modi as an 'angel' and 'total killer' during their G7 meeting. The New York Times highlighted Trump's actions, such as tariffs on Indian goods and closer ties to Pakistan, as hurting India's economy and pride, with recent US strikes killing Indian sailors adding to tensions. The potential thaw in relations is seen as possibly performative.
