Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit the United States next month, according to a report released on Wednesday.
During this visit, Narendra Modi is set to participate in the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, and there is a possibility that he may also meet with US President Donald Trump, as stated in the report.
The potential meeting with President Trump, which has not yet been officially confirmed, aims to resolve trade disputes and establish a mutual understanding regarding tariffs, as reported.
The last meeting between Narendra Modi and Donald Trump occurred in February 2025 when the Indian Prime Minister traveled to the US.
Reports indicate that preparations for PM Modi’s visit are currently in progress and may be finalized by the end of August.
The anticipated visit of Narendra Modi to the US is particularly significant as it coincides with a period when India-US relations have been strained in recent months, following Trump’s assertion of having facilitated a ceasefire between India and Pakistan—a claim that New Delhi has refuted.
Last month, the US implemented a 25 percent reciprocal tariff on Indian goods, which was subsequently raised to 50 percent on Russian oil imports. The government has indicated that discussions are ongoing regarding both tariff matters.
UNGA meeting in September
The 80th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA 80) is scheduled to take place in New York City from September 9 to 23, 2025. The High-Level General Debate will occur from September 23 to 27, concluding on September 29. This annual event gathers leaders from all 193 UN member states to tackle global issues and work collaboratively on solutions.
In recent days, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has already engaged in discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Following a phone conversation on Monday, Zelensky suggested that he and PM Narendra Modi have “agreed to plan a personal meeting in September during the UN General Assembly.”
‘The relationship remains unchanged’
State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce has stated that the United States’ relationship with both Pakistan and India ‘remains unchanged,’ noting that ‘diplomats are dedicated to both nations.’
Her comments followed remarks made by Pakistan Army chief Gen Asim Munir in Florida, where he allegedly indicated that Pakistan might resort to nuclear weapons against India and ‘half the world’ if faced with an existential threat.
During the State Department briefing, Bruce remarked, ‘We experienced a situation with Pakistan and India, during a conflict, that had the potential to escalate into something quite dire. There was immediate concern and action from Vice President JD Vance, President Donald Trump, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio to address the unfolding situation,’ Bruce stated.
She highlighted the effectiveness of diplomatic initiatives in averting the escalation of the conflict, asserting, ‘We outlined the nature of the communications and the efforts we undertook to halt the attacks, uniting the parties to forge a lasting resolution. It is a moment of great pride that Secretary Rubio, Vice President Vance, and the nation’s top leaders played a role in averting that potential disaster.’
