US Ambassador Sergio Gor reported that during the recent meeting between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former US President Donald Trump, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) had requested that there be no questions from the press. Gor claimed that Trump disregarded this request and conducted a 45-minute press conference with reporters.

In response to Gor's assertions, government officials indicated that the arrangements for public appearances by leaders are considered standard practice during high-profile visits. Sources within the MEA emphasized that discussions regarding such protocols are typical and expected.

Officials reiterated that the adherence to customary procedures in organizing such events was followed, despite Gor's remarks suggesting a deviation on Trump's part. The government's comments aimed to clarify the nature of the operational protocols implemented during the meeting.
