India Requested No-Question Format for Modi-Trump G7 Meeting, Trump Held Press Session
US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor revealed that ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's June 17 meeting with US President Donald Trump at the G7 summit, India requested media presence without a full press conference or questions. Trump initially agreed but later invited reporters to ask questions, turning the interaction into a 45-minute press session. Indian government sources described such arrangements as standard protocol for VVIP visits. The Ministry of External Affairs has not officially commented on Gor's remarks.
