United States Ambassador to India,Sergio Gor, on Friday said that a possible meeting between Prime MinisterNarendra Modiand US PresidentDonald Trumpwill take place at the right time. "Stay tuned," said Gor when asked about a meeting between PM Modi and President Trump. The US President had last hosted PM Modi for an official working visit in Washington on February 13 last year. This comes amid renewed push by New Delhi and Washington to reset ties following the finalisation of an interim trade deal after months of strained relationship due to sweeping tariffs imposed by the Trump administration on Indian products entering the US. Earlier today, India officially joined the US-led strategic alliance, the 'Pax Silica'.
"Stay tuned, I'm sure it'll happen at the right moment," US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor told news agency ANI on the sidelines of India AI Impact Summit when asked about the possibility of a meeting between PM Modi and Trump.
On the AI Impact Summit, being held in Delhi, Gor said, "It's been a very impactful summit." "We have a lot of opportunities between our two nations. We look forward to engaging with that," the US envoy said.
Prime Minister Modi and US President Trump had last spoken on February 7 this week, when both leaders announced the finalisation of the interim trade deal. The US and India announced that they reached a framework for an interim agreement on trade, with Trump issuing an executive order removing the 25 per cent punitive tariffs imposed on India for its purchases of Russian oil. Under the trade deal, Washington will charge a reduced reciprocal tariff on New Delhi, lowering it from 25 per cent to 18 per cent.
