Despite the request from MEA, as Gor had said, Trump went on to have a 45-minute unscripted news conference at the media event. Govt sources here stressed there was no unusual demand made by the Indian side.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>According to Gor, while MEA wanted to bring in the media, it said, &#8220;let&#8217;s not do a full news conference&#8221;.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>The ambassador\u2019s disclosure of what might have been a private discussion is learned to have upset the govt. \u201cDiscussions regarding arrangements for public appearances of leaders are normal practice ahead of any VVIP visit,\u201d said a govt source, on condition of anonymity. \u201cDelegations when meeting Donald Trump are wary about his unpredictable behaviour, as may be seen from his interactions with president of South Africa, Ukraine, etc. Thus, the cautious approach by India,\u201d he added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>In highlighting Trump\u2019s previous interactions with the presidents of Ukraine and S Africa, which devolved into televised confrontations with Trump hectoring his visitors, govt sources framed India\u2019s request as a necessary safeguard against unpredictable diplomatic settings. The standard practice for govt has been to not have unscripted joint news conferences by Modi in company of the host or visiting dignitaries.<\/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> This practice, though, has been questioned by local journalists recently in countries like Norway, the Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>MEA defended the arrangement, stating that standard diplomatic procedures for international visits are followed.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/india\/donald-trumps-volatility-may-have-made-india-decline-g7-presser\/articleshow\/133478272.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Unpredictable\u2019 Trump behind no press conference after PM Modi meeting, govt says NEW DELHI: Govt justified its decision not to have a news conference after PM Modi&#8217;s meeting with President Donald Trump on the margins of the G7 summit in France, with official sources citing Trump&#8217;s &#8220;unpredictable behaviour&#8221;
