EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France \u2014 U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday sought to show there was no daylight between him and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, effusively describing Modi as his loyal friend even as their relationship is tested by trade tensions, oil sanctions and, most recently, a U.S. military strike that killed three Indian mariners.<\/p>\n

The leaders\u2019 meeting came just a week after three Indian sailors were killed in a strike on a tanker in the Gulf of Oman in the midst of a U.S. blockade targeting oil shipments passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The Indian Foreign Ministry has formally protested the incident.<\/p>\n

The two sat down on the sidelines of the G7 summit on Wednesday, where Modi was one of several leaders who attended as a guest of the host, French President Emmanuel Macron.<\/p>\n

Trump dismissed any suggestion of trouble between the U.S. and India, repeatedly heaping praise on Modi, describing him as a tough negotiator.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the best relationship. We cannot be closer than we are. Would you say that, sir? I don\u2019t think we can be any closer,\u201d Trump said, reaching out to clasp Modi\u2019s hand. \u201cBoth him and I, and our nations. But it really starts with the two of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

When it came time for Modi to speak, he raised the strike directly, noting hundreds of thousands of Indian nationals work on ships around the world, including in the strait. \u201cTheir safety is of utmost importance to us,\u201d Modi said, after thanking Trump for coming to an agreement to end the war with Iran.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou made tremendous efforts towards reaching this understanding and this agreement, and I\u2019m confident that the issue of seafarers will receive the highest priority during the implementation of this agreement,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Asked for words of condolence for the mariners\u2019 families, Trump said, \u201cIt\u2019s a tough profession. There\u2019s no question about it. And we work together on it.\u201d He added: \u201cWe love all of those people. They\u2019re great people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump had a notably warm relationship with Modi during his first term.<\/p>\n

During a two-day trip to India in 2020, Trump was impressed when Modi honored him with a massive rally at a cricket stadium. Months earlier, Trump had joined the Indian leader at the \u201cHowdy Modi\u201d rally in Houston, which drew a big showing from Texas\u2019 Indian diaspora.<\/p>\n

But this time around, Trump and Modi\u2019s relationship has been complicated by Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine and trade disputes.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration put steep tariffs on Indian exports last year, partly over New Delhi\u2019s continued purchase of Russian oil. The two countries reached an interim trade deal, but talks on a broader agreement are ongoing.<\/p>\n

Trump on Wednesday said a new deal is \u201cvery close\u201d while describing Modi as a \u201cscary\u201d trade negotiator. \u201cHe\u2019s the most beautiful looking man. He looks so nice. He\u2019s like an angel. But actually, he\u2019s as tough as – he\u2019s a killer,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n
