G7 Summit 2026 LIVE: Can The Modi-Trump Meeting End The Chill In India-US Relations? | N18G
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump are set to hold a key bilateral meeting today on the sidelines of the G7 Summit
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump are set to hold a key bilateral meeting today on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Évian, France, with trade negotiations and recent tensions in the Gulf expected to dominate discussions. The meeting comes just days after three Indian sailors were killed in US military strikes on commercial vessels near Oman, an incident that prompted strong protests from New Delhi.
The issue is likely to feature prominently in the talks, along with the proposed US-Iran agreement and the future of the Strait of Hormuz. Trade is also expected to be high on the agenda. India is pushing for clarity on US tariffs and seeking favourable terms in an interim trade deal, while both sides continue negotiations on a broader economic partnership. PM Modi and Trump briefly interacted on Tuesday during a gathering of G7 leaders, their first face-to-face meeting in 16 months.
The two leaders are expected to review the full spectrum of bilateral ties, including trade, defence cooperation, energy, supply chains, artificial intelligence and digital infrastructure. The meeting comes amid efforts by both countries to stabilise relations following disagreements over tariffs, immigration policies and regional security issues.
