Accordingly before meeting Prime Minister Narendra modi in Osaka, the Japanese city and the venue for G20 Summit 2019, US President Donald Trump tweeted a teaser. Meanwhile he demanded from PM modi to withdraw "unacceptable" high tariffs recently imposed on certain US products.
Furthermore when the two leaders met this morning, they discussed "various aspects of mutual interest". Hence instead of getting assurance on tariff readjustment, Trump tuned in with modi to direct the officials to put their heads together and resolve trade related issues that have cropped up in last one year. Reportedly india has not yet committed to Trump administration's call for a ban on huawei plan to rollout 5G in the country. india maintains the decision will be taken considering its own business and security interests.
Moreover PM modi told President Trump that 5G technology is a new area of communication that offers good opportunity for india and the US to collaborate. Perhaps this means that india has resisted Trump's pressure to toe its line as he scales up trade war with china. modi and Trump discussed defense ties with the US president stressing that defense deals between the two countries should go forward.
