During the G7 summit in France, President Donald Trump shared a positive update regarding his recent discussions with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Describing the exchange as a "very good" meeting, Trump hinted that both nations are actively engaged in negotiations to finalize new trade agreements. He also took a moment to commend the Prime Minister's skills at the bargaining table, jokingly labeling him a "tough negotiator," while confirming his intention to visit India at some point down the road.

The relationship between the two leaders appears to be deepening, with India having long advocated for an official visit from the U.S. President. Beyond economic discussions, Trump emphasized the importance of the U.S.-India defense partnership, pledging that the United States would stand by India if it were ever attacked. While he voiced strong support for Modi personally, Trump jokingly noted that his commitment to such a defense promise would depend on the future leadership of the country.
