Modi’s G7 Meeting with Trump Deemed a Calculated Risk

At the G7 summit, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met former U.S. President Donald Trump. The encounter was framed as a strategic moment for Modi on the global stage. Observers noted the political risk of aligning with Trump’s controversial reputation. Despite the risk, analysts argue the meeting could boost India’s diplomatic leverage. The summit provided a rare platform for direct dialogue between the two leaders. Both leaders exchanged remarks on shared economic and security interests. Critics warned that the association might alienate some G7 partners. The long‑term impact will depend on subsequent policy coordination.
