Always a pleasure to meet him. In the photo, Modi and Biden are seen holding each other’s hands and discussing.
Will there be a bilateral meeting between Modi and Biden?
There is no clarity yet on the bilateral meeting between Modi and Biden during the G20 summit. If there are no pre-scheduled talks between the two leaders during the G20 summit, the brief meeting could be their last face-to-face meeting before Biden hands over the US presidency to Republican leader Donald Trump next year.
Trump won
In the US presidential election held on November 5, 78-year-old Trump made an incredible comeback and defeated Democratic Party candidate Kamala Harris. Trump’s inauguration is scheduled for January 20 at the White House in Washington, DC.
