Modi Joins Truth Social, Strengthens Ties with Trump

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has joined Truth Social, the social media platform owned by former U.S. President Donald Trump. In his debut post, Modi shared a throwback image with Trump from the 'Howdy Modi' event and expressed his eagerness to engage with the platform's users. Modi’s subsequent post featured a link to his podcast with Lex Fridman, touching on leadership and global issues, echoing themes of shared priorities between him and Trump. This move underscores Modi’s efforts to strengthen ties with Trump and engage with a platform popular among Trump supporters. Modi's presence on Truth Social highlights his strategic use of digital platforms to fortify international relationships, particularly with the U.S. under Trump's influence. Truth Social was developed after Trump was banned from major platforms like Facebook and X following the January 6 Capitol riot.
