Trump may visit India next year even as trade talks hang in air
Nov 8, 2025
US President Donald Trump indicated that he could travel to India next year, telling reporters at the White House that Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants him to visit the country. He lavished praise on Prime Minister Modi, calling him “a great friend of mine” and “a great man”, and declared that India had largely stopped buying Russian oil, but did not announce any plans to lift the additional 25% tariff imposed by his administration on India on this count.
“He (PM Modi) largely stopped buying from Russia. And he is a friend of mine, and we speak. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a great man. He is a friend of mine, and we speak and he wants me to go there. We will figure that out, I will go... Prime Minister Modi is a great man and I will be going,” Trump said on Thursday after announcing a new deal to lower the prices of weight loss drugs.
When asked directly whether he planned to travel to India next year, the President said, “It could be, yes.”
