Modi-Trump G7 Meeting 2026: Trade, Hormuz Talks in Focus

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Donald Trump are expected to meet during the 2026 G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, with trade likely to lead their bilateral agenda and Strait of Hormuz security shaping wider summit discussions.

The Modi-Trump G7 meeting 2026 comes as Washington and New Delhi continue negotiations over a possible trade agreement. A senior U.S. administration official said the leaders would review the progress of those talks, although a final agreement is not expected at the summit.

Modi-Trump G7 Meeting 2026: Trade and Energy in Focus

The G7 leaders’ summit will run from Monday, June 15, through Wednesday, June 17, 2026. India is participating as an invited country rather than a G7 member.

U.S. and Indian officials have indicated that trade and energy security will be among the issues discussed. The meeting comes amid continuing friction over U.S. tariffs on Indian goods, even as both governments pursue further negotiations.

Strait of Hormuz Security on the G7 Agenda

The Iran conflict and disruptions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz are expected to be major subjects for G7 leaders. U.S. officials said Trump plans to discuss proposals with allies to remove mines from the waterway once hostilities are paused.

Britain and France have expressed interest in supporting a demining operation under those conditions. The waterway is a critical route for global oil and gas shipments, making its security important to energy-importing countries, including India, as well as U.S. consumers and international markets.

Modi’s visit to France and Slovakia runs from Saturday, June 13, through Thursday, June 18, 2026. Beyond the bilateral meeting, the G7 summit gives India an opportunity to engage major economies on trade, energy supplies and geopolitical risks that could affect fuel costs and global commerce.
