Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit the United States next month to attend the United Nations General Assembly, where he may hold talks with President Donald Trump, according to the Indian Express.
The Assembly begins on 9 September, with the annual leaders’ meeting scheduled for 23–29 September.
While Modi’s primary reason for the trip is the UN session, a key objective will be resolving trade and tariff tensions that have strained U.S.-India relations.
The report comes shortly after Trump imposed an additional 25% tariff on Indian goods in response to New Delhi’s continued purchase of Russian oil, bringing total U.S. tariffs on Indian exports to 50%—one of the highest among U.S. trade partners.
Trade negotiations between the two nations collapsed after five rounds due to disagreements over market access for U.S. agricultural products and India’s oil imports from Russia.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent noted that several major trade deals, including with India, remain pending, adding that New Delhi had been 'a bit recalcitrant' in talks.
"That's aspirational, but I think we are in a good position," he said, adding " I think we can be, we will have agreed on substantial terms with all the substantial countries."
