With the United States now being regarded as a “bully” and “as someone who's making unreasonable demands,” India has also moved to further solidify relations “with its longstanding nemesis, China,” Johnson pointed out.Until recently, many Indian entrepreneurs and wealthy businessmen were quite vocal about maintaining a close relationship with the US and “basically trying to accommodate the United States.”But the White House managed to change it.“They are angry. They are resentful. And they're looking now to find alternatives to dealing with the United States,” Johnson said.
