Former Australian PM Tony Abbott Critiques Trump's Approach to India Relations

Former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott criticized US President Donald Trump for alienating India through punitive trade tariffs, claims of mediating India-Pakistan tensions, and hosting Pakistan's army chief at the White House. Abbott described these actions as major foreign policy mistakes that strained US-India relations. A partial reset occurred in February when Trump announced a trade agreement reducing tariffs after India's commitment to halt Russian oil imports amid the Ukraine conflict.
