Possible Modi-Trump Meeting at G7 Summit in France; Bilateral Talks Likely
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Donald Trump may hold a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in France, with discussions expected on key global and strategic issues
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Donald Trump are likely to meet during the upcoming G7 Summit in France, scheduled for June 16–17, 2026. The much-anticipated meeting is expected to take place on the sidelines of the summit, depending on the leaders’ official schedules.
France is hosting this year’s G7 Summit, where both PM Modi and President Trump are expected to participate. If the meeting takes place, it could provide an important opportunity for India and the United States to discuss bilateral ties, regional security, trade, and major global developments.
While there has been no official confirmation regarding the meeting so far, diplomatic sources suggest that both sides are exploring the possibility of a face-to-face interaction during the high-profile international gathering.
The potential meeting comes amid evolving geopolitical challenges and growing strategic cooperation between India and the United States. Global attention is likely to remain focused on the two leaders, considering the significance of the India-U.S. partnership in international affairs.
PM Modi and President Trump last met on February 13, 2025, during the Indian Prime Minister’s visit to Washington, D.C., where the two leaders held bilateral talks at the White House following the beginning of Trump’s second presidential term.
The G7, or Group of Seven, comprises seven of the world’s leading advanced economies — Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The European Union also participates in the group’s discussions and meetings.
Although India is not a permanent member of the G7, the country has regularly been invited as an outreach partner due to its growing global influence and economic significance.
