Overview
- Both India and the United States have confirmed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Donald Trump will attend the G7 summit in Évian‑les‑Bains from June 15 to 17, 2026.
- Officials from both sides say a bilateral meeting on the margins is being explored but no formal Modi–Trump session has been finalised.
- US Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited India in May and delivered, on behalf of President Trump, an invitation for Modi to visit the United States; India has not publicly accepted the offer.
- Longstanding sources of strain — trade disputes, India’s continued purchases of Russian oil, and political comments about India–Pakistan — remain unresolved even as diplomacy has recently eased.
- Negotiators are working to finish a long‑running interim trade agreement, and leaders could use the G7 to sign or advance that deal or to schedule future talks that would shape economic and strategic ties.
