'Trump's unpredictable behaviour behind India opting out of joint presser with PM'
India decided against a joint press conference following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's meeting with US President Donald Trump in France, due to concerns over Trump's unpredictable behavior, according to government sources. Ambassadors and foreign delegations often approach Trump meetings with caution, as evidenced by interactions with South African and Ukrainian presidents.
The cautious decision by India came after US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor informed New Delhi of its preference for media access without a full press conference. Trump praised Modi during their June 17 bilateral talks at Evian-les-Bains, stating that India would continue to play a significant role on the global stage as long as Modi remained in office. He also expressed support for India in case of an attack.
