PM Modi ‘at top’ of Trump’s list of leaders to meet at G20: US envoy
US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor has revealed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would be at the top of President Donald Trump's list to meet at the upcoming G20 Summit in Florida in December. Gor also suggested that a bilateral meeting between Modi and Trump might take place on the sidelines of the summit, highlighting the strong friendship between the two leaders.
The ambassador further stated that the sides are "very close" to finalizing a trade deal, which is currently being reworked after the Supreme Court's decision. Despite the recent strain in relations following Trump's mediation claims and tariff decisions, Gor expressed optimism that the agreement could be finalized within the next few months.
He praised Modi for bringing stability to India, making it an attractive partner for the United States. Gor also mentioned the Quad Leaders' Summit, which is expected to be held during the G20 Summit. Additionally, he emphasized that frequent visits by senior US officials, such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio, are anticipated as Washington seeks a closer relationship with New Delhi.
