Investing.com -- Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has praised U.S. President Donald Trump’s readiness for his second term. In a recent podcast interview, Modi stated that Trump is "far more prepared" for his second term, with a clear roadmap in place. This statement comes ahead of the planned reciprocal tariffs by Washington.
Modi and Trump had met last month, and the two nations agreed to resolve their tariff disagreements. The first part of their deal is expected to be completed by the fall of 2025. The ultimate goal of their agreement is to reach a two-way trade of $500 billion by 2030.
Modi’s comments on Trump’s preparedness were made during a podcast with American computer scientist and podcaster Lex Fridman, which was released on Sunday. Modi stated that Trump "has a clear roadmap in his mind with well-defined steps, each one designed to lead him toward his goals."
The podcast discussion, which lasted over three hours, covered a wide range of topics. These included diplomacy, artificial intelligence, and Modi’s early life. Fridman referred to the conversation as one of the most "powerful" of his life.
In addition to his comments on Trump’s preparedness, Modi also praised the U.S. President for his graciousness and humility. This underscored the strong bond between the two leaders. Modi said, "His (Trump’s) reflection showed his ’America First’ spirit, just as I believe in nation first. I stand for India first, and that’s why we connect so well."
