President Donald Trump may not attend Quad Summit 2025 in India

Monitoring Desk: President Donald Trump is not visiting India this year, suggested US media although Indian Prime Minister Modi invited US President to India to attend Quad Summit 2025.
Media reports further suggest that Trump-Modi relations are bitter as Modi is repeatedly denying that US President Trump managed ceasefire between India and Pakistan in May this year on the request of New Delhi. During a phone call on June 17, Trump talked about ending military escalation and even mentioned Pakistan’s plan to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize, subtly implying that Mr. Modi should do the same while Modi firmly rejected this, claiming the cease-fire had been negotiated directly between India and Pakistan, although Pakistan also said that ceasefire was initiated by U.S. involvement. Tensions escalated further when Mr. Trump imposed steep tariffs on Indian imports, first 25% and later an additional 25% for India’s purchase of Russian oil. These penalties strained trade talks and pushed India to strengthen ties with China and Russia.
In India, resentment against Mr. Trump has grown. Public demonstrations labeled him a “backstabber,” and officials described his actions as “bullying.” The two leaders have not spoken since the June phone call.
For Mr. Modi, acknowledging U.S. mediation in the India-Pakistan conflict would have been politically disastrous, undermining his strongman image at home. Meanwhile, Mr. Trump, seeking recognition and a Nobel Prize, continued to claim credit for peace efforts, despite India’s denial.
Additional disputes — including tariffs, U.S. crackdowns on Indian immigrants and students, and disagreements over trade negotiations — further eroded trust. Indian officials became wary of Mr. Trump’s unpredictable public statements, fearing he might misrepresent agreements.
As relations deteriorated, Mr. Modi declined Trump’s invitation to Washington and shifted focus toward “self-reliance” and his “Make in India” campaign. His upcoming trip to China, where he will meet Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, signals a strategic pivot away from the United States.
