Prime Minister Narendra Modi met US Vice President JD Vance at the Elysee Palace in Paris, congratulating him on the Republican victory. The leaders later addressed the AI Action Summit, where Modi emphasized AI’s impact on jobs, stating that technology changes work rather than eliminating it. Vance echoed this, saying AI will enhance productivity without replacing humans. Their meeting precedes Modi’s upcoming talks with President Donald Trump in Washington. Meanwhile, Trump’s new tariffs on steel and aluminium have raised concerns in India, with industry leaders warning of disruptions in global trade.

Six U.S. Congressmen have urged Attorney General Merrick Garland to reconsider the indictment of Adani Group executives, criticizing the Department of Justice's (DOJ) decision. In a letter, they wrote, “Instead of deferring the case to the appropriate Indian authorities, the Biden DOJ decided to push forward and indict [Adani Group]’s executives without any real injury to U.S. interests being present.” The DOJ has charged Adani executives with financial misconduct, but the Congressmen argue that India's legal system should handle the matter. The case has sparked diplomatic concerns, with India closely monitoring developments. The DOJ has not responded to the letter.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, co-chairing the AI Summit in Paris, emphasized AI's transformative role in reshaping society, economy, and security. He called for democratizing technology, ensuring accessibility for all, especially in the Global South. Stressing the need for global AI governance, he urged transparency, open-source systems, and bias-free data sets. “AI is the code for humanity in this century,” he said, advocating innovation alongside responsible regulation. Modi highlighted AI’s potential in healthcare, education, and sustainable development, urging international cooperation to harness its benefits while mitigating risks.

India plans to counter President Trump’s 25% tariff threat on steel and aluminum imports by citing recent duty reductions. Ahead of PM Modi's meeting with Trump, India aims to highlight its tariff cuts, including those for bikes like Harley Davidson, and the overall reduction of average duties to 10.6%. This is seen as a response to concerns about high tariffs. Despite the tariff threat, India's exports of steel and aluminum to the US remain unlikely to face significant disruptions. India hopes its strategic relationship with the US will help avoid severe trade impacts.
