A senior US official has hinted at a possible upcoming meeting between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, potentially during a QUAD Summit later this year or in early 2026. Though not confirmed, there are signs that Trump may visit India as ties between the two nations remain strategically important despite recent diplomatic tensions.

Relations have been strained due to US trade restrictions, criticism of India's policies, and differences over energy imports from Russia.

However, high-level diplomatic engagement continues, with both sides emphasizing the long-term value of the partnership. Officials stress that the relationship remains on a positive trajectory despite some "turbulence."
