PM Modi to visit US next month for UNGA session, trade talks with Trump
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to meet US President Donald Trump for bilateral talks as part of his visit to address the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September. The talks come at the back of Washington's decision to impose an initial 25% tariffs on India and an additional 25% levy over New Delhi's purchases of Russian oil, bringing total duties to 50%. Modi is expected to be in New York next month to address the annual high-level session of the UNGA, according to a provisional list of speakers issued by the UN here. The 80th session of the UNGA will open on September 9. The high-level General Debate will run from September 23-29, with Brazil as the traditional first speaker of the session, followed by the US. US President Donald Trump will address world leaders from the iconic UNGA podium on September 23, his first address to the UN session in his second term in the White House. According to the provisional list of speakers for the high-level debate of the 80th session of the General Assembly, India's Head of Government (HG) will address the session on the morning of September 26. The Heads of Government of Israel, China, Pakistan, and Bangladesh are also scheduled to address the UNGA general debate on the same day.

PM Likely To Visit US Next Month For UN General Assembly Session: Report
United Nations: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to address the annual high-level session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September, according to a provisional list of speakers issued by the UN here. The 80th session of the UNGA will open on September 9. The high-level General Debate will run from September 23-29, with Brazil as the traditional first speaker of the session, followed by the US. US President Donald Trump will address world leaders from the iconic UNGA podium on September 23, his first address to the UN session in his second term in the White House. According to the provisional list of speakers for the high-level debate of the 80th session of the General Assembly, India's 'Head of Government (HG)' will address the session on the morning of September 26. The Heads of Government of Israel, China, Pakistan, and Bangladesh are also scheduled to address the UNGA general debate on the same day. PM Modi had travelled to the US in February this year for a bilateral meeting with Trump in the White House in Washington, DC. In a joint statement issued after their meeting, PM Modi and Trump had announced plans to negotiate the first tranche of a mutually beneficial, multi-sector Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) by the fall of 2025. Even as trade negotiations were ongoing, Trump imposed tariffs totalling 50 per cent on India, including 25 per cent for New Delhi's purchases of Russian oil that will come into effect from August 27. Responding to the tariffs, India's Ministry of External Affairs has said that the targeting of the country is unjustified and unreasonable. 'Like any major economy, India will take all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests and economic security,' it said. Last week's announcement of Trump's executive order imposing the additional 25 per cent tariff came at a time when a team from the US is scheduled to visit India from August 25 for the sixth round of negotiations for the proposed bilateral trade agreement. The two countries are aiming to conclude the first phase of the pact by fall (October-November) this year. The UNGA list of speakers for the General Debate is provisional, and there is a possibility of changes in schedules and speakers over the next few weeks. The list will continue to be updated accordingly. Considered the 'busiest diplomatic season' of the year at the United Nations Headquarters, the high-level session opens in September annually. The session this year comes amid the continued Israel-Hamas war as well as the Ukraine conflict. Trump has said that in the six months of his second presidential term, he has solved several wars, including a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Cambodia and Thailand, Israel and Iran, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Serbia and Kosovo. Trump has repeatedly claimed credit for stopping the May conflict between India and Pakistan.

Houthis Say Four 'STRATEGIC' Israeli Sites Attacked With Drones; IDF Denies Claim
India Should Put Out That It Wont Be Intimidated by Trump's 50% Tariff, Says South Asia Expert The US-imposed 50% tariff on Indian goods could hit India's competitive edge in global trade, warns Washington-based South Asia analyst Michael Kugelman. With rivals like Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Vietnam facing lower tariffs, India's key export sectors, especially textiles, risk losing market share unless New Delhi adapts. Kugelman says India must fast-track trade agreements with partners like the EU to offset losses. He also links the tariffs to an upcoming US-Russia meeting, calling it Trump's last-ditch bid to pressure Vladimir Putin into a ceasefire in Ukraine. If successful, the deal could ease trade tensions for India. Until then, the tariffs remain a major challenge, testing India's ability to protect its exports while preserving strategic autonomy. The high-stakes game now hinges on both economic agility and geopolitical negotiation.#trump #india #russia #tariff #pmmodi #ustradetariff #exports #trade #economy #geopolitics #worldnews #usindia #russianoil #trumptariffs #indiausrelation #indiarussiarelation #michaelkugelman #trumpnews #worldnews #energycrisis #geopolitics #breakingnews #trending #trendingnow #toi #bharat #toibharat #indianews 3.5K views | 20 hours ago
