Trump's 'Good Friend' Tactic Exposed: Lies on Modi, Apache Deal & Tariffs

• Donald Trump's claims about PM Modi and India, including calling Modi a "good friend," are diplomatic tactics to mask economic pressure and tariffs.
• Diplomatic expert Brahma Chellaney exposed Trump's statements as lies, highlighting the US's harsh economic pressure on India despite friendly rhetoric.
• Trump falsely claimed PM Modi addressed him as "Sir," a common tactic by Trump to portray himself as superior to world leaders.
• Trump exaggerated the Apache helicopter deal, claiming India ordered 68 helicopters and waited 5 years, when the actual order was 28 and deliveries were mostly on schedule.
