Summary
More than a year after their last face-to-face meeting, Trump publicly lauded Modi as a “long-time friend” in a bid to reset ties.
Trump paired the praise with trade-focused flattery, calling Modi a shrewd negotiator who “may look like an angel” but is “as tough as a killer.”
India is approaching the renewed outreach cautiously, underscoring that the warm rhetoric comes with sensitivity around trade and the broader bilateral relationship.
