Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Donald Trump may hold a bilateral meeting during the G7 summit [1, 2].
The potential encounter comes as both nations navigate escalating tensions in the Middle East and seek to strengthen strategic partnerships. A meeting would allow the leaders to address critical security and economic concerns directly.
The summit is scheduled for June 15-17, 2024 [1]. While some reports place the event in Canada, other sources identify the venue as Évian-les-Bains, France [2].
Key agenda items for the discussions are expected to include trade deals and the Quad, a strategic security dialogue between India, the U.S., Japan, and Australia [1]. Officials are considering the meeting to align these interests amid regional instability.
If the meeting occurs, it would mark the first in-person encounter between Modi and Trump since February 2025 [2]. The timing is significant as the two leaders seek to manage bilateral ties during a period of global tariff uncertainty and conflict.
Neither the Indian nor the U.S. government has officially confirmed the final schedule for the bilateral talks. However, the possibility of a face-off remains a central point of diplomatic coordination for the June event [2].
