Trump to meet Modi as India-U.S. Tariff War comes to a head? PM Modi to visit U.S. in September

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit the U.S. next month for the UNGA summit, with a possible meeting with Donald Trump to address strained trade relations. Ties have soured after Trump imposed a combined 50% tariff on Indian goods over market access disputes and Russian oil imports. India has rejected U.S. criticism, accusing Washington of double standards. If talks progress, Modi may invite Trump to India for the October Quad summit. Global tensions, including the Ukraine war, will also shape discussions. #Modi #Trump #IndiaUSRelations #TradeWar #Tariffs #UNGA #ModiTrump #QuadSummit #GlobalTrade #USIndiaTies #RussianOil #Geopolitics #TradeTalks #USPolitics #IndiaPolitics #BilateralTies #Diplomacy #BreakingNews #EconomicPolicy #TariffTensions #DoubleStandards #UkraineWar #ModiInUS #TariffWar #InternationalRelations #WorldNews #USIndiaTrade #EconomicDiplomacy #ForeignPolicy #TariffTrouble #ModiVsTrump Also Read Amid Tariff Row, PM Modi Likely To Visit US Next Month For UNGA Session :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/amid-tariff-row-pm-modi-likely-to-visit-us-next-month-for-unga-session-7828289.html?ref=DMDesc President Trump to Push Putin for Peace in Ukraine During Alaska Meeting :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/president-trump-to-push-putin-for-peace-in-ukraine-during-alaska-meeting-7828161.html?ref=DMDesc Why Is Trump Really Upset With India?

Zelensky Dares Putin | Refuses to Cede Donbas to Russia | Warns Trump ‘It will start a 3rd War’

Ahead of the Trump–Putin summit in Alaska, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has firmly rejected any withdrawal from Donbas, warning it would allow Russia to launch a “third war” in Ukraine. He insists ceding territory would expose cities like Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv to occupation. While Putin is expected to push for Ukrainian withdrawal, Zelensky seeks EU security guarantees and ongoing Western support. U.S. officials say Trump aims to eventually broker direct talks, but no ceasefire proposal so far assures Ukraine’s long-term safety. #Zelensky #Putin #Trump #Donbas #Ukraine #Russia #UkraineWar #UkraineRussia #Geopolitics #SecurityGuarantees #EU #USPolitics #PeaceTalks #VolodymyrZelensky #TrumpPutin #Diplomacy #WarWarning #UkraineStrong #UkraineNews #DonbasWar #RussiaUkraineConflict #BreakingNews #UkraineDefense #PutinDemands #GlobalPolitics #WorldNews #SummitTalks #UkraineFrontline #NoCeasefire #MilitaryTensions #UkrainePride Also Read President Trump to Push Putin for Peace in Ukraine During Alaska Meeting :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/president-trump-to-push-putin-for-peace-in-ukraine-during-alaska-meeting-7828161.html?ref=DMDesc Why Is Trump Really Upset With India?
