UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer praised India’s strong economic growth during his visit to Mumbai, rejecting U.S. President Donald Trump’s “dead economy” remark. Starmer congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying India is “on track to become the world’s third-largest economy by 2028.” He called India’s “growth story remarkable” and described it as “an economic superpower in the making.” Starmer also highlighted the new UK-India Comprehensive Trade Agreement as a “breakthrough moment” that will create jobs and boost trade. His comments came after Trump criticized India’s economy and its close ties with Russia earlier this year. (PC: HT)
