Minister of External Affairs S Jaishankar on Saturday described Donald Trump’s handling of foreign policy as unprecedented, saying the world has never "had a US President who's conducted foreign policy as publicly as the current one."
Speaking at The Economic Times World Leaders Forum 2025, Jaishankar said, "That in itself is a departure that's not limited to India... President Trump's way of dealing with the world, even dealing with his own country, is a very major departure from the traditional orthodox manner of doing so..."
Jaishankar reiterated that there was no US mediation in ending the four-day India-Pakistan conflict in May, contrary to Trump’s repeated claims.
"On the issue of mediating (India-Pak conflict), since 1970s, for more than 50 years now, there's a national consensus in this country that we do not accept mediation in our relations with Pakistan," he added.
