President Trump had announced Reciprocal Tariff even before meeting PM Modi. Reciprocal tariff means that whatever tariff a country imposes on American goods, America will also impose the same tariff on the goods of that country.
Trump accused India of imposing very high tariff. He said that I remember when Harley Davidson was not able to sell its motorbikes in India, because the tax in India was very high. Due to this, Harley was forced to stop manufacturing. To avoid tariff, they had to set up a factory in India. We can also do the same. But this is not the case. India has also received many good news from this meeting of Trump and Modi.
1) In the meeting between President Donald Trump and PM Modi, both of them have announced to give F-35 fighter jets to India. Trump said that America will sell military equipment worth billions of dollars to India. In a press conference with PM Modi, President Trump said that from this year we are going to sell military equipment worth billions of dollars to India. We are also moving towards giving F-35 fighter planes to India in the future.
2) There has been talk of sending 2008 Mumbai attack terrorist Tahawwur Rana to India. US President Donald Trump announced that 26/11 Mumbai attack conspirator Tahawwur Rana will be extradited to India. He said that India and America will work together to deal with the threat of terrorism. At the same time, PM Modi said that the 26/11 conspirator will be tried in an Indian court for plotting the Mumbai attack.
3) America and India have agreed to increase cooperation in many areas. Investment in the field of energy and infrastructure will be increased. A major agreement has been reached between the two countries in the energy sector, due to which America will become the major supplier of oil and gas to India.

After meeting with President Trump, PM Modi once again emphasized on peace in the times of war. He said that the world thinks that India’s stand is neutral regarding the war between Russia and Ukraine, but India is not neutral, rather we are in favor of peace. Problems are not solved by war. They are solved only by discussing on the table. I fully support the peace initiative taken by President Trump.
However, during this meeting of the two leaders, many such decisions were also taken which will have a big impact on India. These include the issues of BRICS and illegal immigration.
6) BRICS is dead… President Donald Trump has been angry with BRICS since the beginning. Trump, upset at the possibility of introducing currency of BRICS countries, said that BRICS will end as soon as 100 percent tariff is imposed on BRICS. He once again threatened to impose tariff on BRICS. This organization was started with bad intentions. In my view, BRICS is over.
7) US President Trump has been strict about illegal immigrants living in the country since taking oath. He is sending illegal immigrants living in America to their country. 104 illegal immigrants from India have also been sent back. Trump once again raised this issue in front of PM Modi in this meeting. PM Modi showed a positive attitude in this matter and agreed to call illegal immigrants to India.
PM Modi said that he is ready to bring back those who are living illegally in other countries. But at the same time he also asked to crack down on human trafficking. He said that in this matter, he appealed to work together with both the countries against human trafficking.
8) In this meeting of the two leaders in the White House, US President Donald Trump also made big statements about China. He said that I think we are going to have very good relations with China. China is a very important country in the world. I think they can help us end this war with Ukraine and Russia.
9) On the issue of Bangladesh, President Trump said that the deep state has no role in this. This is something that PM Modi has been working on for a long time. I leave Bangladesh to the PM.
10) After meeting with PM Modi in the White House, President Trump also offered to help India regarding the clashes taking place on the border. He said that I see India, I see the clashes on the border which are quite dangerous. If I can help, I would love to help. I hope that China, India, Russia and America, we can all get together.
