Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Donald Trump exchange greetings at the G7 Summit in France and are scheduled to meet on the summit’s sidelines, multiple outlets report. Footage and accounts describe the leaders shaking hands and conversing briefly during a G7-related session in Évian, with both seated next to each other at least for part of a summit session. U.S. officials quoted by NDTV and other reporting indicate the talks are intended to cover trade, with a Trump administration official saying the leaders will have an opportunity to discuss it during the sidelined meeting. Other sources add that the meeting is planned as a bilateral discussion before the leaders join broader G7 events, including a working lunch. Bloomberg frames the agenda as part of Modi’s outreach to “middle-power” partners ahead of the first face-to-face meeting with Trump after a period of strained relations. Additional reporting from Free Press Journal says the bilateral agenda is expected to include economic growth, supply chains, artificial intelligence, investment, and global security issues. The G7 itself runs in France from June 15 to 17 and includes outreach partners and representatives from institutions such as the World Bank and the African Development Bank.
