Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi tells reporters he is concerned about a “shortage of trust” or “trust deficit” ahead of a planned bilateral meeting with US President Donald Trump. The comments come as Modi and Trump meet briefly on the sidelines of a Group of Seven (G7) summit in France, where both are shown shaking hands and smiling before their first face-to-face bilateral engagement in about a year. The two outlets describe the same on-the-ground encounter at the G7 venue and frame Modi’s remarks as a warning about trust between the countries ahead of the upcoming meeting. No further details are provided in the supplied accounts about specific policy topics the leaders will discuss or any formal outcomes from the sideline interaction. The reporting focuses on Modi’s characterization of trust as a factor in the relationship and on the timing of the meeting after a year gap in bilateral engagement, with the G7 summit setting the stage for their planned talks.
