Hagerty said the weapon “literally melted” Indian troops during the confrontation. His statement came soon after Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Chinese President Xi Jinping at the SCO Summit in Tianjin. The timing of the allegation created alarm in Washington.

Former US President Donald Trump also weighed in. He initially claimed that America had “lost India to darkest China.” Later, he called India an important partner and described Modi as a “very good friend.” Trump’s comments came even as his administration imposed 50% tariffs on Indian goods and penalties for buying Russian oil.

India-China relations remain tense since the Galwan Valley clash in June 2020. The clash left 20 Indian soldiers dead. Reports suggested Chinese losses were higher, though Beijing gave no details. The violent standoff was the worst in 45 years and pushed ties to a historic low. Hagerty’s statement has revived global focus on the border conflict and its lasting impact on the region.

In his tweet, the Prime Minister wrote: “Concluding a productive visit to China where I attended the SCO Summit and engaged with world leaders. I also reiterated India’s stand on key global issues. My thanks to President Xi Jinping, the Chinese government, and the people of China for hosting a successful summit.”

Earlier, while addressing the 25th SCO Summit, Modi highlighted terrorism as a major threat to peace, stressing that India has faced this challenge for over four decades. He emphasized that India’s engagement with the SCO rests on three pillars — security, connectivity, and opportunity.

The Prime Minister further called on SCO nations to join India’s development journey and act collectively to overcome separatism and extremism. He underlined that cooperation and reforms were essential for lasting peace and growth in the region, while also urging member states to embrace unity and responsibility.

In his speech, Modi stressed that terrorism remains a serious threat to global peace and stability. He noted that India has been battling the menace of terrorism for the past four decades and continues to face its consequences. He highlighted that as an active member of the SCO, India is committed to security, integration, and opportunity — the three pillars guiding its role in the regional grouping.

The Prime Minister pointed out that both terrorism and separatism have emerged as major challenges in recent years. He invited SCO nations to actively participate in India’s development journey while stressing the need for collective reforms and cooperation. Modi urged member states to maintain restraint and move forward in harmony.

Modi also expressed gratitude to countries that stood with India during the Pahalgam attack. In a bold move, he criticized Pakistan’s stance on terrorism, openly denouncing nations that provide direct support to terrorist groups, even in the presence of Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. This sharp rebuke became one of the key highlights of the summit.
