Former US President Donald Trump recently praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi while speaking in South Korea ahead of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit. Trump made a mix of humorous and admiring remarks about Modi, calling him both the “nicest looking man” and a “killer”, reflecting his respect for Modi’s strong leadership style.
In a video clip from his speech that went viral on social media, Trump said,
> “Prime Minister Modi is the nicest looking guy. He looks like he would like to have your father. But he’s a killer. His stuff is… no, we will fight.”
Trump then added jokingly,
“Woah, is this the same man that I know?”
The comment drew laughter from the audience. Trump appeared to be emphasizing how Modi’s calm and friendly appearance contrasts with his tough and decisive personality as a leader. By calling him a “killer,” Trump seemed to mean that Modi is a strong, determined leader who does not hesitate to take firm actions when required.
his is not the first time Trump has spoken warmly of Prime Minister Modi. During his presidency, the two leaders shared a close and visible friendship, often referring to each other with mutual admiration at international events. Trump had earlier called Modi a “great friend” of the United States and praised India’s development under his leadership.
Trump’s latest comments in South Korea come as global attention turns to the upcoming APEC meetings, where several world leaders are expected to discuss economic cooperation and regional stability. His remarks once again highlighted the strong personal rapport between the two leaders and Trump’s habit of mixing humor with praise in his public speeches.
