Narendra Modi and Donald Trump discuss India-US trade and defense ties
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump held a telephonic conversation on Wednesday to review bilateral cooperation. The discussion focused on trade, defense, energy, and critical technologies, as well as regional and international issues concerning global peace and security.
Both leaders expressed a commitment to advancing their Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership and agreed to maintain close engagement. The call occurred amid ongoing trade negotiations, with India’s commerce minister currently in the US for discussions.
The dialogue follows the enactment of the Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, which authorizes the US president to impose tariffs of up to 100% on goods from countries that purchase significant amounts of Russian oil or gas. While the specific discussion of this act was not explicitly confirmed in Modi’s public readout, the timing and the inclusion of energy as a key topic highlight the underlying economic tensions regarding India's energy security and its continued purchases of Russian crude.
