India maintains measured stance as US President’s remark sparks attention
April 23, 2026: India’s Ministry of External Affairs responded cautiously to a controversial social media repost by Donald Trump that reportedly referred to India and China in derogatory terms. Addressing queries, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal refrained from making a direct comment on the issue.
“We have seen some reports. That’s where I leave it,” Jaiswal said, offering a brief and measured response when asked about the remark. The statement reflects a restrained diplomatic approach amid growing attention around the post.
The development has drawn focus due to the sensitive nature of international relations and public statements by global leaders. However, India has chosen not to escalate the matter, maintaining its usual diplomatic caution in responding to such comments.
