Amid the ongoing India-US trade negotiations, US President Donald Trump made surprising remarks about PM Narendra Modi at the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) CEOs Summit in South Korea.

Trump recounted a past conversation with Modi about tensions between India and Pakistan. He described Modi as the “nicest looking guy" and “like a father," before adding, “He’s a killer, he’s as tough as hell."

In a dramatic moment, Trump even mimicked Modi’s accent, quoting him as saying, “No, we will fight." The president then claimed that within two days, India had reached out to the United States expressing a willingness to adopt a softer stance. “Isn’t that amazing?" Trump added.
