President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi sat down at the G7 Summit in Evian, France on June 17 to discuss the state of US-India trade relations. Trump described the meeting as positive and said the two countries are actively working on trade deals, though no formal agreements came out of the summit.
It was their first face-to-face meeting in more than 16 months.
What actually happened at the G7
The bilateral meeting focused primarily on advancing an interim trade agreement between the two countries. This builds on a framework for a reciprocal interim trade deal that was announced back on February 6, 2026, which was designed to ease the friction that has defined US-India economic relations in recent years.
US officials made it clear ahead of the talks that no formal agreements would emerge from the summit discussions.
