Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi held talks with US President Donald Trump ahead of the G-20 Summit. Discussions took place on various bilateral and global issues such as Iran, 5G communication networks, trade and defence. The meeting is significant as the US president has been an ardent critic of India lately for levying “tremendously high” duties on US products.

This is unacceptable and the tariffs must be withdrawn!”
