U.S. President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi discussed trade, defence, and energy cooperation during their meeting at the White House. Trump criticized India's high tariffs, stating that the U.S. would adopt reciprocal tariffs. Both leaders agreed to work toward a trade deal, which could be finalized within seven months, and discussed India’s desire to increase its defense purchases from the U.S., including fighter jets, and to make the U.S. the top supplier of oil and gas. They also focused on strengthening security cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region, a response to China's influence. Additionally, Trump sought India’s help on unauthorized immigration and expressed hopes of resolving India-China border skirmishes. Modi emphasized India’s commitment to peace in the context of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and defended its continued ties with Russia. The two leaders also discussed advancing joint technology production and reducing the U.S. trade deficit with India.
