Next week, former President Donald Trump is set to meet with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during Modi's visit to the United States. This meeting comes at a pivotal moment, as Modi is also attending the Quad Leaders' summit in Delaware, which includes discussions with leaders from Australia and Japan. Trump's relationship with Modi has historically been warm, highlighted by memorable events such as the 'Howdy, Modi!' rally in Texas and Trump's official visit to India in 2020.
As Trump campaigns to regain the presidency, he finds himself facing off against Vice President Kamala Harris. Despite their rapport, Trump has not shied away from criticizing India, labeling it a 'very big abuser' in terms of trade practices. Modi's U.S. agenda includes participation in the United Nations General Assembly and engaging with the Indian community, further solidifying international ties.
This upcoming meeting signifies the continued importance of U.S.-India relations amid a backdrop of global political dynamics. As both leaders navigate their respective challenges, their alliance may play a crucial role in shaping future policies and collaborations between the two nations.
