Pourquoi c'est important
US forces recently fired missiles at a commercial vessel, killing three Indian nationals. This incident has strained relations between the US and India.
Speaking to the media after their first bilateral meeting in 16 months, Trump said both Washington and New Delhi continue to “work together” on the issue, calling commercial vessel operations “a rough profession”.
“I heard about that,” Trump added, without offering any condolences or regret. “This has been happening throughout time, but we work together. We love all of those people, and they’re great people.”
“I am confident the safety of seafarers will be ensured and receive the highest priority during the implementation of this agreement,” he added.
Relations between the two sides deteriorated after US forces fired missiles last week at the Palau-flagged MT Settebello, killing three Indian nationals.
