Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump maintain a strong personal rapport, which continues to characterize their relationship even amidst trade disagreements. Despite Trump's recent imposition of trade tariffs, Modi's visit to the US highlighted continued friendship, with an emphasis on expanding defense and energy trade. Experts note that while their mutual understanding is crucial, the conflicting national interests under 'America First' and 'India First' pose challenges. Modi's efforts to increase purchases of U.S. goods aim to alleviate some of Trump's frustrations regarding tariffs.
There is still the personal chemistry between the two leaders, in spite of a lot of talk about how this will proceed, aid Anit Mukherjee, a senior fellow at the Observer Research Foundation.
I think at a personal level, there was good rapport to be seen.
America First cannot mean India First and vice-versa.
India is betting on buying more US gas, oil and defense products to stave off Trump's irritation.
