PM Modi, Trump likely to come face to face at G7 summit. india news
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to come face-to-face with President Donald Trump at the G7 summit, to be hosted by France from June 15-17, with both India and the US confirming the leaders’ participation in the meeting. However, both sides are said to be considering the possibility of talks on the margins, but no meeting has been finalized yet.Modi is also expected to hold bilateral meetings with host Emmanuel Macron and other G7 leaders. There has been no meeting between Modi and Trump since Trump’s visit to the US in February 2025, weeks after Trump’s return to the White House.Relations deteriorated over differences over a range of issues, including trade, India’s continued purchases of Russian oil and Trump’s repeated claims to end the India-Pakistan conflict last year.Although some of those differences are still not fully resolved, things seem to be improving with Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s visit to India last month, in which he invited Modi to visit the US on Trump’s behalf. India has not yet publicly said that the PM has accepted the invitation. Modi is likely to visit Florida for the G20 summit in December. The two sides are in the midst of another round of talks to finalize the bilateral trade agreement they have been discussing for more than a year.
