  "account": "On Monday, India defended the government's decision to request a \"no questions\" media interaction between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Donald Trump during the G7 Summit in France. US ambassador Sergio Gor criticized the move, stating that it was not a full press conference and no questions would be allowed. Gor emphasized that this request was part of standard practice for foreign visits by the Prime Minister. Foreign delegations meeting the US President often expressed concerns about his unpredictable behavior, including his interactions with the Presidents of South Africa and Ukraine. Gor mentioned that India's approach was cautious, reflecting the \"deep and personal friendship\" between Trump and Modi. During the G7 Summit, reporters entered the meeting with numerous cameras, and Trump questioned the media for any questions after the leaders concluded their speaking engagements. Modi did not answer any questions during the meeting at the G7.",
