First in second term and Prime Minister from President Donald Trump as President Narendra Modi The second meeting is going to be held. Everyone is watching this meeting. Will Trump meet PM Modi in the same way as he had met ‘friend’ Modi in the last term because now the situation and issues have changed a lot. Since assuming power, Trump has taken a tough stance on the issue of tariffs and illegal immigrants, which seems that the US is above the friendship on the policy of the US First. Meanwhile, during this special meeting of the two leaders, everyone’s eye will be on everything from Trump’s mood to body language.
Trade and tariff
Economic support will be the main issue of the meeting between the tariff threats being given by Trump repeatedly. India has imposed tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico. However, tariffs for Canada and Mexico have been banned for a month. So far, India has not been included in the tariff policy, but the 25 % torrids that have been imposed on the export of aluminum and steel will also affect India.
America is India’s largest partner for imports and exports. According to American documents, in 2023-24, there was a trade of $ 118 billion between the two countries, in which India is more. India exports more to the US and low imports, which gave India a benefit of $ 45.6 billion. Trump is not happy with this, due to which he has also addressed India as ‘Tariff King’.
Trump’s Economic Advisor Kevin Hesset said on Monday (February 10, 2025) that India imposes high tariffs, which reduces American exports. He said that in the meeting going to be held on Monday, PM Modi will have a lot to discuss with Trump. Apart from this, PM Modi can also put a proposal to increase energy and defense import in front of Donald Trump. America imposes about three % on India’s exports and India’s exports of about nine and a half percent on America’s exports.
Defense
Last month, Donald Trump spoke of expansion in US military technology on a phone call with PM Modi. He had asked to increase American technology in fighter jets, drones and armored vehicles. Trump wants to sell F-35 fighter jets to India. India is also keen to buy P-8 long-range meritime petrol and submarine-halting aircraft from the US, which was banned for three years. This can also be discussed in the meeting.
Deportation and Visa Policy
The most important issue can also talk to PM Modi Trump on immigration and visa policy. The US sent 104 Indian immigrants living illegally last week to India. There is a preparation to send 487 more Indians. Opposition is an attack on the Government of India regarding this. Congress MP Manish Tiwari says that there are 7.25 lakh Eligel immigrants in America, 24 thousand of the people are in the custody of the US government.
PM Modi can demand better behavior with Indians in Departation
The government has made it clear that it is ready to withdraw its citizens, but the way Indians were sent to Indians with chains, PM Modi can talk to Trump about it. Better behavior with Indians can be demanded for Deputy. At the same time, Prime Minister can also put an issue of concession in strict policies of the US government regarding the H1B visa required for IT-workers.
There can be talk on increasing energy cooperation
On the sidelines of the AI Summit in France, PM Modi and US Vice President JD Vance spoke on the issue of promoting energy cooperation, which can be taken forward in the meeting with Trump. There is a possibility that America may press India to buy oil and gas and reduce its dependence on Russia. In return, PM Modi can demand Trump to invest in nuclear energy projects.
