Here are key takeaways from Modi's visit to US

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's meeting with US President Donald Trump was marked by key agreements on trade, defence, and immigration, further strengthening Indo-US ties. The discussions took place hours after Trump imposed sweeping reciprocal tariffs, yet both leaders expressed confidence in achieving a USD 500 billion bilateral trade target by 2030.

On trade, India committed to importing more US oil and gas to address the trade imbalance, while Trump welcomed India's reduction of tariffs on American products such as motorcycles and tech goods.

A major highlight was the US administration's approval of the extradition of Tahawwur Rana, accused in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, a long-standing Indian demand.

Defence cooperation received a boost with Trump announcing plans to supply India with fifth-generation F-35 fighter jets, though officials clarified the deal remains at the proposal stage. Additional agreements on Javelin anti-tank missiles and Stryker combat vehicles were also discussed.

PM Modi introduced the idea of “MIGA” (Make India Great Again), aligning it with Trump's “MAGA” to emphasize a strong economic partnership. On geopolitical matters, Modi underscored India’s commitment to peace while Trump offered to mediate the India-China border dispute.

Both leaders also launched the ‘TRUST’ initiative to enhance cooperation in defence, AI, semiconductors, and space, signaling a deepening strategic partnership.
