Trump, Modi share ‘very positive’ relationship, says US official

US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi share a “very, very positive” relationship and will meet, a senior State Department official has said, while underlining that planning is underway for the next Quad Summit, expected either later this year or in early 2026.

India is slated to host leaders from the US, Australia, and Japan for the Quad summit. The 2024 edition of the summit was held in the US at Wilmington,



Delaware.

“In terms of meetings coming soon, I certainly don’t want to get ahead of announcing anything for the President, but I’m sure you’ll see the two (PM Modi and President Trump) meet,” the State Department official here told media reporters.

“They have a very, very positive relationship. We’ve got a Quad Summit, we’re working on planning, so at some point that will happen, if not this year, early next year. Working on the dates of that,” the official said.
