Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to meet US President Donald Trump today on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Evian, France. The bilateral talks are expected to cover a wide range of issues including global security, trade, energy cooperation, and emerging technologies.
Officials indicated that discussions will focus on maritime safety in West Asia, particularly in the Strait of Hormuz, where Indian seafarers have been affected by recent tensions. Modi is likely to emphasize the need for protecting Indian lives and ensuring safe trade routes.
Trade and tariff negotiations are also on the agenda, with both sides working towards a long-term agreement to expand market access and reduce barriers. Energy partnerships, including diversification of India’s energy imports from the US, will be a key point of discussion.
Technology cooperation, especially in artificial intelligence, supply chains, and investment opportunities, is expected to feature prominently in the talks. Both leaders are also likely to exchange views on the Ukraine conflict, Russia’s role, and broader geopolitical challenges.
The meeting between Modi and Trump is seen as one of the highlights of the G7 Summit, underscoring India’s growing role in global decision-making and its strategic partnership with the United States.
