Modi meets Trump to strengthen US-India ties and address tariffs

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is meeting with President Donald Trump to strengthen U.S.-India relations and address recent tariff increases. Modi aims to avoid further tariffs that could impact trade between the two nations. Before the meeting, Modi engaged with Trump’s national security adviser and Elon Musk. He expressed hopes to enhance cooperation in technology, trade, defense, and energy, following a recent electoral victory in India. Despite Modi's efforts, Trump signed new tariffs affecting global trade, including with India. The U.S. has a significant trade deficit with India, and both countries are working towards a fair trade arrangement by the end of the year.
