Modi, Trump asked officials to speed up trade talks, says Misri
Hindustan Times Lucknow
|June 19, 2026
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump have instructed officials to take forward discussions on a bilateral trade agreement as quickly as possible and the US Trade Representative will visit India next week for further talks in this connection, foreign secretary Vikram Misri said on Thursday.
The trade deal was one of the important issues that figured in the meeting between Modi and Trump on the margins of the G7 Summit in Evian, France, on Wednesday as there is a need to ensure ‘‘some kind of certainty’’ in trade-related matters with the US, Misri told a media briefing in Paris.
The two leaders hadn’t met in the past 16 months simply because Modi had not travelled to the US after February 2025— when he last met Trump in Washington—and the US President had not visited India, and Wednesday’s meeting was held in a ‘‘good atmosphere’’, Misri said.
