Modi Avoids Summit to Prevent Embarrassment from Trump on Pakistan

Reported about 10 hours ago

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi skipped a regional leaders summit in Malaysia to avoid potential discussions with US President Donald Trump regarding Pakistan. Concerns arose that Trump might controversially claim he mediated a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, a claim India has denied. Modi's absence was strategic as he is campaigning for an important state election in Bihar and did not want Trump’s remarks to be used against him by political rivals. Despite the tension, Modi's decision indicates a reluctance to engage directly with Trump following their previously strained interactions.
