India’s request to avoid a press interaction before Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meeting with US President Donald Trump at the G7 Summit in France was standard practice, sources said. The clarification came after US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor said the Indian side had conveyed its preference for no questions from reporters. Gor said he informed Trump about the request, but the US President later invited questions from journalists, effectively opening the interaction to the press. Sources said discussions over schedules and public appearances are routine ahead of VVIP meetings to ensure clarity on arrangements. (PC: NDTV)
