Prime Minister Narendra Modi met former US President Donald Trump at the White House, exchanging warm gestures despite new US tariffs on Indian exports. Trump praised Modi as a "tough negotiator" but defended the tariffs, citing a $100 billion trade deficit. Modi introduced "MIGA" (Make India Great Again), calling for a "MEGA" US-India partnership. The tariffs will impact Indian textiles, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture. As Modi departed, he emphasized strengthening India-US ties, despite tensions. Trump's move signals economic hardball even as political camaraderie remains high.
