The end of the Trump-Modi bromance
When Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met President Donald Trump in the Oval Office in May, the Indian premier was in an exuberant mood at the prospect of a second Trump term.
Trump was a man with whom Modi had formed a personal bond — or even better, a friendship.
