Modi and Trump discuss trade, tariffs, and security in recent meeting
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump focused on trade, tariffs, terror, and tough talk during their recent meeting. Modi assured Trump that India is not tariff-heavy and is willing to resolve trade issues to avoid conflict. Trump reiterated his concerns about India's trade surplus and high tariffs on US products. He proposed increasing US energy and defense sales to India to address the trade deficit, while Modi aimed to double bilateral trade by 2030. Trump announced the extradition of Tahawwur Rana, linked to the 2008 Mumbai attacks, and hinted at future extraditions of other wanted individuals.
