WASHINGTON: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Donald Trump are likely to hold a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the upcoming G7 summit, with discussions expected to focus on trade relations and visa policies, according to a source familiar with the matter, Reuters reported.
The meeting is expected to take place during the G7 summit scheduled in Evian-les-Bains, France, where both leaders are set to attend alongside other global counterparts.
According to Reuters, key agenda items for the expected discussion include bilateral trade disputes and immigration-related visa issues, particularly those affecting skilled workers.
Modi is scheduled to begin a multi-day diplomatic visit ahead of the summit, which also includes stops in other European countries.
The potential meeting comes amid ongoing efforts by both Washington and New Delhi to stabilise relations following tensions over tariffs and broader trade disagreements. Recent diplomatic engagements between the two sides have focused on expanding cooperation in trade, energy, and technology sectors.
The Reuters report noted that both governments have been exploring pathways toward a broader trade agreement, although no formal bilateral meeting between Modi and Trump has yet been officially confirmed.
