India Requested No-Question Format for Modi-Trump Meeting, Trump Held Press Interaction
US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor revealed that ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's June 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 and emphasized India's cautious approach due to Trump's unpredictable behavior. The Ministry of External Affairs has not officially commented on Gor's remarks.
