At Desh Manthan, we bring positive and India-centric news which the mainstream media often ignores or deliberately underplays. One such story came from the G7 Summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, held between June 15 and 17, 2026, where President Trump’s conversations with different world leaders showed a very clear contrast when compared with his meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 🧵

12/ This meeting also came at a time when there had been earlier strains on tariffs and other issues.
Yet both sides projected forward movement on defence, trade and strategic ties.

The style difference was noticeable: Trump leaned heavily into his personal chemistry with Modi, while PM Modi stayed issue-focused, composed and firm.

This is exactly the kind of India-centric diplomatic story that rarely gets the attention it deserves in our media ecosystem.

11/ The difference in tone was very clear. With other G7 leaders, Trump was direct, sometimes humorous and occasionally blunt, whether it was the “I’m the boss” joke, the Greenland remark, the watch joke or the EV tariff discussion with Carney. Those interactions looked like normal high-level diplomacy.

But with Modi, Trump delivered the summit’s most personal and flattering remarks, from “angel” to “killer” to “most beautiful looking man,” along with a strong individual support pledge.

PM Modi, on the other hand, matched that warmth with steady assertiveness and kept the focus on concrete Indian priorities.

7/ Now comes the real standout contrast: Trump’s bilateral with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. After meeting Modi, Trump’s remarks to reporters were not just diplomatic. They were far more effusive, personal and direct. It was one of those moments where the difference in tone was hard to miss.
