Donald Trump's volatility may have made India decline G7 presser
'Standard Practice For Such Visits Communicated'
NEW DELHI: India's decision to forego a press conference following Prime Minister Modi's meeting with President Donald Trump during the G7 summit in France was attributed to Trump's unpredictable behavior at similar media events. According to official sources, US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor had raised concerns about Trump's erratic behavior, particularly after their encounters with heads of state like South Africa and Ukraine.
Despite MEA's request to limit media interaction, Trump proceeded to hold a 45-minute unscripted news conference with journalists present. The government's stance, as per Gor's disclosure, was met with disapproval, as it was perceived as an attempt to navigate the potential risks associated with Trump's unpredictable behavior during diplomatic interactions.
