US President Donald Trump once again praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi during their meeting on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in France on Wednesday, highlighting the close personal rapport that has long defined ties between the two leaders. The interaction took place just before their bilateral meeting which marked their first face-to-face engagement in more than 16 months. The meeting attracted considerable international attention as both countries continue to deepen cooperation across trade, security and strategic affairs. In his trademark style, Trump used a mix of admiration and humour while describing PM Modi’s personality and negotiating skills.
