wmur.com —
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with U.S. President Donald Trump to strengthen US-India relations. This meeting follows Trump's recent tariff increases affecting global trade, including India, which Modi hopes to address. Modi's visit comes after his party's recent election victory and aims to enhance cooperation in technology, trade, defense, and energy. India has shown willingness to lower tariffs on U.S. goods and increase purchases of American oil. Despite the positive discussions, trade tensions remain. The U.S. has a $50 billion trade deficit with India, and Trump has criticized India's tariffs. Modi's trip also included meetings with national security adviser Mike Waltz and Elon Musk.
