Next month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is anticipated to meet with former President Donald Trump at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York City. This significant event, where world leaders will gather, has its main session from September 23 to 29, although the assembly starts on September 9. The primary focus of the potential Modi-Trump meeting is expected to be discussions on resolving the existing trade disagreements between India and the United States. The relationship has been impacted by increasing trade and tariff tensions, leading the Trump administration to implement tariffs on Indian imports. The planned meeting comes after unsuccessful trade negotiations, with Trump penalizing India for maintaining high tariffs and its continued purchase of Russian oil. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that crucial trade agreements, including those with India, remain incomplete.
