WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The Biden administration was upset with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decision to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin while NATO held a summit in Washington, the Washington Post reported on Thursday.
The Biden administration told India that the timing of Modi’s meeting with Putin would complicate "optics" amid the summit, the report said, citing several US officials familiar with the matter.
US Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell spoke with Indian Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra last month in an effort to encourage India to reschedule the Modi-Putin meeting so as not to coincide with the NATO summit, the report said.
