Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi held warm meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday, sending Washington a clear message after President Donald Trump's heavy tariffs against India went into effect last week.
Xi hosted Modi, Putin and other members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) at the port city of Tianjin. China has long sought to build up the group in a challenge to U.S. and NATO dominance. Modi was pictured having friendly exchanges and holding hands with both leaders, and he emphasized that India sees itself as a "partner" of China's rather than "rival."
Modi's trip was his first time visiting China in seven years. He also took a ride in Putin's presidential limo, echoing Putin's own visit with Trump in Alaska last month. The two leaders held a separate bilateral meeting after the summit.
"Conversations with him are always insightful," Modi wrote on X, posting a picture of himself with Putin.
Putin in turn called Modi his "dear friend" and expressed gratitude that India and Russia share "friendly and trusting" relations.
While Modi never criticized Trump or the U.S. outright, his warming up to U.S. adversaries is a clear rebuke amid India's tariff strife with Trump. The U.S. imposed a 50% tariff on Indian goods beginning last week. Xi also stopped short of naming Washington, but condemned "bullying behavior" by countries during his summit address.
Trump appeared to receive the message on Monday, reacting to the trio's meeting in a post on social media. He argued India had much more to lose in an economic standoff with the U.S.
"What few people understand is that we do very little business with India, but they do a tremendous amount of business with us," Trump wrote, adding that the U.S. is India's "biggest client."

Some people make the wrong decision under stress.
Awwwww, poor baby!
Please don’t bully the bullies
Do so at your own peril.
What anti trump trash…
Title refers to “bullying”, while content says there is nothing quotable from modi. The author and title editor simply want some trump bashing in there attributed to modi or putin without evidence
These are our enemies and don’t forget it.
Attempting to stop Russia’s war in the Ukraine is hardly bullying. India was never our ally and less we have to do with their dump of a country the better off we will be.
Cancel all H1Bs and send em packing.
I guess Indians were never bullied by their British colonizers.
The United States sent twenty-five percent of its wheat crop to India in 1965 to help combat starvation during a severe food crisis.
And Modi fondles Putin in 2025.
Xi-boy, “bullying” is what Japan did to you.
Trump is trying to make us NOT YOU in the boxer war.
The economic war against Russia is driving Russia and India to China.
“Cozies-up”? More like driven. We have started a tariff war against India by trying to dictate where they can buy oil — to fight a nation that is the left’s enemy but not ours. Our consumers are paying for the tariffs.
Bullcrap. Tarriff them at 00 percent till they take thier hordes back.
200
Maybe Modi is ill
To join a country that you are fighting at you border in nuts
