Trump Faces Backlash for Mimicking Modi Accent Amid Asia Tour

President Donald Trump faced widespread criticism after attempting to mimic Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's accent during a speech at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in South Korea. Trump took credit for brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan following a border conflict earlier this year, claiming he threatened India with tariffs to stop the fighting, though Modi has denied Trump's role in the negotiation. During the speech, Trump described Modi as "the nicest looking guy" but also "a killer" and "tough as hell," before launching into an Indian-accented imitation of Modi yelling, "No, we will fight!" The impression sparked backlash on social media, with many branding Trump’s behavior as offensive and a global embarrassment. Trump also disparaged President Joe Biden by suggesting he would not have been able to mediate the conflict as he did. The incident overshadowed the president's broader diplomatic efforts during his Asia tour, which included meetings with leaders from South Korea and Japan.
