In a shocking turn of events, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with US President Joe Biden and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to discuss the debt ceiling deal after a train crash killed hundreds in India. The world was left scratching their heads as to the connection between the two events, but Modi seemed determined to make the most of his time with American leaders.
Sources say that Modi arrived at the meeting with a manic look in his eyes, muttering about the need for a "big, beautiful deal" that would solve all of India's financial woes. Biden and McCarthy were reportedly taken aback by Modi's frenzied demeanor, but tried to keep the conversation on track nonetheless.
Things took a turn for the worse when Modi began to ramble about the train crash, insisting that it was somehow related to the debt ceiling negotiations. "You see, if we don't raise the ceiling, we won't have the funds to improve our infrastructure and prevent tragedies like this from happening again," he explained, gesturing wildly with his hands.
Biden and McCarthy exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of how to respond. "I'm sorry, Prime Minister Modi, but I fail to see the connection between the two issues," Biden finally said, trying to steer the conversation back to the matter at hand.
Modi, however, was not deterred. "Trust me, Mr. President, it's all connected," he insisted. "We need to think big, think bold, and think outside the box. That's how we'll solve this crisis."
The meeting ended with no clear resolution, and the world was left to wonder what exactly had transpired behind closed doors. Some speculated that Modi had simply lost his mind, while others suggested that he was trying to distract from the tragedy in his own country. Regardless, it was clear that the debt ceiling negotiations had taken an unexpected, and rather bizarre, turn.
