Will PM Modi and Donald Trump meet in Malaysia in five days? Amid the confusion, political activity intensifies from India to the US.

PM Modi-Trump Meeting: Discussions are in full swing regarding a possible meeting between President Trump and PM Modi at the ASEAN summit to be held in Malaysia amid US tariff tensions on India.

Speculation continues to swirl about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's meeting with US President Donald Trump. The fact that PM Modi and President Trump are scheduled to meet at the ASEAN Summit in Malaysia in five days has become a major topic of discussion. This development has generated political buzz from India to the US.

In fact, the ASEAN Summit is scheduled to begin in Malaysia on Sunday (October 26, 2025), with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump expected to attend. As a result, speculation is rife about a meeting between the leaders of the two major world nations.

The US and Indian governments have not made any official announcement.

The Malaysian leadership has already confirmed US President Donald Trump's participation in the ASEAN Summit. However, the US White House has not yet issued an official statement in this regard. The Indian government has also not yet officially confirmed whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the ASEAN Summit.

Why is there so much discussion about the possible meeting between Trump and Modi?

Discussion about a possible meeting between President Trump and PM Modi at the upcoming ASEAN Summit in Malaysia is rife amid US tariff tensions with India. This is due to several reasons, including the slim likelihood of Donald Trump attending the G20 Summit in Johannesburg in November 2025. Meanwhile, a date for the next Quad summit has not yet been finalized. Therefore, the summit in Malaysia may be the only possibility for a meeting between the leaders of these two countries.
