US President Trump meets India’s Modi at G7 summit in France

U.S. President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a joint press conference on June 16‑17 2026 at the G7 summit in Évian‑les‑Bains, France. Trump said many issues had been resolved and touted a pending U.S.–India trade agreement, describing himself as “often right.” He emphasized the importance of keeping the Strait of Hormuz open for global trade and referenced ongoing talks with Ukrainian and Russian leaders about the war.

The G7 leaders issued a statement that criticised the People’s Republic of China over its activities in the South China Sea, East China Sea and Taiwan Strait, while reaffirming support for a nuclear‑free Korean Peninsula. They also backed a renewed diplomatic effort with Iran to restore maritime traffic through the Hormuz Strait, and announced plans to increase sanctions on Russia’s oil and gas sector and to diversify critical mineral supply chains away from China. The summit highlighted closer U.S.–India cooperation and a broader Western push to limit China’s economic leverage.
