US officials ‘frustrated’ by ‘terrible’ optics of Putin-Modi bear hug – WaPo
Washington tried to persuade India to reschedule a visit to Moscow by Prime Minister Narendra Modi so that it would not coincide with a summit of NATO leaders in the US this week, the Washington Post has claimed.
US officials were concerned to see a major Asian power engaging Russia at the same time that Western nations were insisting that Russia is isolated on the world stage over the Ukraine conflict, sources familiar with the matter told the newspaper.
Senior cabinet members are now “frustrated,” the report said. The optics were “terrible,” one of the sources stated, while another one called the situation “deeply inappropriate.”
