U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said India and Russia seem to have been "lost" to China after their leaders met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping this week, expressing his annoyance at New Delhi and Moscow as Beijing pushes a new world order.
"Looks like we've lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest, China. May they have a long and prosperous future together!" Trump wrote in a social media post accompanying a photo of the three leaders together at Xi's summit in China.
Later on Friday, however, he told reporters he didn't think the U.S. had lost India to China.
