Paris: The interaction between US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in France has triggered discussion in Indian media and on social media, with many observers pointing to the apparent lack of warmth between the two leaders.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Trump and Modi met face to face for the first time in nearly 16 months. However, unlike their previous high-profile meetings marked by visible camaraderie, the latest encounter appeared notably restrained.
Videos circulating online show the two leaders exchanging a handshake and brief remarks, but observers noted the absence of the customary embrace and public display of personal rapport often associated with their past interactions.
Reports also highlighted the meeting’s subdued nature, with several commentators describing the body language and overall atmosphere as unusually formal and distant.
The discussion intensified when footage from the summit’s official group photo session showed a noticeable distance between Trump and Modi among the assembled world leaders. The clips quickly went viral, prompting a wave of reactions and commentary across social media platforms.
Political analysts noted that the body language of world leaders at major international gatherings often attracts close scrutiny, and this time the Trump-Modi interaction at the G7 Summit has generated considerable interest and debate in India.
