The discussion between US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is highlighted on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan.
The meeting took place amidst escalating trade war between the two countries.
During the meeting, the issue of trade tensions between the two countries will be discussed.
Meanwhile, the US President said in a tweet that the Indian government is in talks with India to avoid excessive taxes on its goods.
Earlier this month, India increased tariffs on 28 US imports in response to President Trump’s decision to cancel US GSP concessions to India.
Trump made these allegations while the two states were powering each other over the action.
India is the largest country to enjoy the US GSP concession.
Under this, $ 5.6 billion of goods were imported to the United States under tariff concessions.
However, foreign leaders said the two leaders would agree to end the trade war and strengthen economic ties.
