President Donald Trump greeted Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the White House with a bear hug on Thursday and called him “a great friend of mine," but nonetheless warned that India won't be spared from higher tariffs he's begun imposing on U.

President Trump insists that he is across Musk's conflicts of interest while working at DOGE—despite not knowing if the richest man on the planet met with Modi in a CEO or political capacity.

Reuters reported that Modi was slated to meet Musk during his trip this week to the United States, and Starlink's entry in the South Asian market could come up for discussion in the meeting.
