Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Donald Trump meet face-to-face at the G7 Summit in France, exchanging pleasantries and a handshake in Evian-les-Bains shortly before a scheduled bilateral meeting. Media reports say the interaction comes after a gap of about 16 months since their last face-to-face meeting. That previous meeting is described as taking place in February 2025 at the White House in Washington, D.C., soon after Trump’s second inauguration. Multiple outlets characterize the moment as a brief prelude to the bilateral session, with the leaders sharing a cordial exchange prior to the formal talks scheduled for later. While the reports focus primarily on the handshake and timing of the meeting, they collectively confirm the location at the G7 event in France and the fact that this is their first in-person encounter in roughly a year and a half. Details of the agenda and specific discussion points are not provided in the excerpts shared by the sources.
