The meeting was seen as an effort to stabilise ties between India and the US after relations had come under strain over the preceding year.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>The clarification came after US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor said that New Delhi had informed the American side ahead of the meeting that it preferred not to have questions from the media.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>Gor, speaking at the Economic Times World Leaders Forum on Sunday, had said India wanted media access without a full-fledged press conference. He recalled discussing the matter with Trump before the meeting.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>&#8220;We were behind the scenes, behind the stage, and at one point it was just the president and I, and he asked me, he goes, \u2018What the Indians are going to raise?\u2019 We went over some topics,&#8221; Gor said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>&#8220;And he (Trump) said, \u2018Do they have any asks?\u2019 And the MEA had one ask. He said, and it was, \u2018Let\u2019s bring in the media, but let\u2019s not do a full press conference,\u2019&#8221; the ambassador added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Gor said he conveyed the preference to Trump. &#8220;I told the president, I said, the Indians prefer no questions. He said, &#8216;Sure, no problem&#8217;,&#8221; he recalled.<\/p>\n<div data-type=\"in_view\" class=\"  \">\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>During the meeting on June 17, Trump also praised PM Modi, saying India would continue to play a major role globally as long as he remained in office. <!-- -->Asked about India&#8217;s role in West Asia, Trump said: \u201cYes, I do. I think India plays a big role in everything. As long as he (PM Narendra Modi) is the leader, India is going to play a big role.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>Trump also praised PM Modi personally, saying: &#8220;So you look at this man. I&#8217;ll give you a lesson. He&#8217;s the most beautiful-looking man. He looks so nice. He&#8217;s like an angel. But actually, he&#8217;s tough, he&#8217;s a killer. He&#8217;s as tough as they come. But he looks so good. So he gets you by surprise,&#8221; the POTUS said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>He added that the US would help India if it came under attack: &#8220;If they (India) are attacked and he&#8217;s (PM Modi) the leader, we would be there to help,&#8221; Trump said.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
