The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Friday said it had no information to share on reports that US President Donald Trump might visit India next year.

At the ministry’s weekly briefing, spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, “As far as the comments of President Trump regarding his visit to India are concerned, I do not have anything on this to share. I will let you know when I have something to share about it."

The response came a day after Trump said he could travel to India in 2026, adding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi wanted him to visit. Speaking to reporters at the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump praised the Indian leader, calling him a “great man" and a “friend."

“He’s (PM Modi) a friend of mine, and we speak… He wants me to go there. We’ll figure that out. I’ll go. I will have a great trip there with Prime Minister Modi, he’s a great man. And I’ll be going," Trump said.

When asked directly if he planned to visit India next year, Trump replied, “It could be, yeah."

India is expected to host leaders from Australia, Japan, and the United States for the next Quad summit in New Delhi. The previous Quad meeting was held in Wilmington, Delaware, in 2024.
