Prime Minister Narendra Modi meets US President Donald Trump at the G7 Summit and raises the safety of Indian seafarers as a priority. Both leaders focus on maritime security and the protection of shipping routes, with particular attention to the Strait of Hormuz, which is frequently cited as a strategic chokepoint for global energy and trade. Modi underscores the need for open and secure sea lanes and highlights the risks faced by seafarers working in or near the Middle East. In discussing the broader regional context, the meeting also references the possibility of reduced tensions involving the US and Iran, and Modi seeks assurances that such developments translate into concrete safety improvements for Indian workers at sea. Trump acknowledges the dangers associated with the seafaring profession and expresses confidence in cooperation between the United States and India. The leaders also discuss other aspects of bilateral relations, including trade and defense, and characterize the engagement as part of renewed momentum after a period of strain.
