Modi and Trump discuss trade and defense cooperation during US visit

During their meeting, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Donald Trump discussed trade, tariffs, and defense cooperation, aiming for a $500 billion trade target by 2030. Both leaders expressed a willingness to negotiate on tariffs. Modi assured Trump that India would take back its nationals living illegally in the U.S. They also addressed military ties, with potential sales of F-35 jets under a 10-year defense plan. However, they avoided sensitive topics like human rights. India plans to increase oil imports from the U.S. to reduce the trade imbalance. While the meeting was seen as a diplomatic success, critics noted a lack of concrete agreements and progress on trade disputes.
