Given that the increase in H-1B and tariff visa continues to be turbulence between India and the United States, the main official of the Foreign Ministry said that President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi share “very, very positive” and will surely meet. The US official also stressed that planning is taking place for the next four -member summit, expected either by the end of this year or at the beginning of 2026.
India is scheduled for host leaders from the US, Australia and Japan at the Quad Summit. The 2024 summit was held in the US in Wilmington in Delaware.
The American official with the PTI agency said, “As for meetings that are coming soon, I definitely do not want to get anything before the President’s announcement, but I’m sure you will see that two (PM Modi and President Trump) meet.”
“They have a very, very positive relationship. We have a quad summit, we are working on planning, so at some point this will happen, not if this year at the beginning of next year.
The official also described the ongoing obligations between the US and India as “incredibly productive” and said, “continuous positive development” is expected in the coming months. He also advanced to President Trump’s birthday to PM Modi and said the exchange between the two leaders was “incredibly positive”.
“We have differences. In the last few weeks, it has been clear that we were going through certain differences, especially when it comes to trading and buying Russian oil. We work through them,” the official said.
Speaking of ongoing issues between the US and India, the official said that President Trump is “honest” about his opinions and “is not ashamed when it is frustrated by countries”.
“We are honest with our friends and see India as a good friend and as a partner and as a truly partner of the future,” the clerk said.
“Trump wants to end Ukraine’s war”
Speaking of Indian purchase of Russian oil – the reason for the American addition of 25 % of tariffs on Indian products – the clerk said the matter was discussed at a meeting between Rubius and Jaishankar.
“He said,” The president was incredibly clear. He wants to end the war in Ukraine. He does not want the revenues to go through Russia … He was clear with our European partners. He was clear with India.
When asked why the same approach was not interested in China, he explained that it was because Beijing was approached “according to his own conditions”.
