Trump’s last visit to India was in 2020

After that, there were several telephone conversations between the two leaders. Recently both the leaders also met during the G-7 summit held in France.

Trade was also discussed in the G-7 meeting

During the meeting in France, both the leaders had discussed the India-US trade agreement in detail.

After the meeting, Trump described Prime Minister Modi as a “tough but effective negotiator” and also expressed his desire to visit India.

In the same meeting, Prime Minister Modi also raised the issue of safety of Indian sailors working in the Gulf of Oman and Hormuz area with the US President.

In response to a question asked about India-US defense relations, Trump had said that if there is any attack on India, America will stand with it.

He also praised the leadership ability of Prime Minister Modi and said that India has emerged as a strong power at the global level today.

Experts believe that if the proposed trade deal is completed on time and Trump’s visit to India happens as per schedule, then it can prove to be an important step in giving a new direction to the economic, strategic and defense relations between the two countries.
