In a major development in India-US relations, Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled his vision for the future of bilateral ties during a joint briefing with US President Donald Trump. The new vision, termed ‘Make India Great Again’ (MIGA), is inspired by President Trump’s iconic slogan ‘Make America Great Again’ (MAGA). PM Modi emphasized the importance of this synergy, describing it as a "mega partnership for prosperity." The announcement comes at a time when both nations are aiming to solidify their relationship with a focus on trade, energy, and defense collaboration.

Make India Great Again (MIGA) – A Vision for Progress

PM Modi's introduction of MIGA signals a forward-thinking approach to India’s growth, aligning with the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047 (Developed India by 2047). Modi noted that just as Americans are committed to the MAGA goal, Indians are equally focused on progress and heritage. By adopting this vision, India hopes to move forward with a firm resolve towards development.

As PM Modi highlighted, when India and the US work together, the fusion of MAGA and MIGA creates a stronger foundation for a mega partnership. The focus will be on boosting economic growth, especially through bilateral trade, and fostering a mutually beneficial relationship between the two nations.

Setting an Ambitious Trade Target

An essential part of the discussions between PM Modi and President Trump centered around setting an ambitious target for bilateral trade. Both leaders agreed on the goal of more than doubling trade between the two countries, with a target of reaching USD 500 billion by 2030. This initiative aims to expand economic cooperation and strengthen trade ties between the world’s largest democracies.

PM Modi further emphasized the importance of concluding a trade agreement that would solidify this target and help ensure that both countries benefit from this growing partnership. The focus would be on sectors that have the potential for high growth, such as energy, technology, and defense.

Strengthening India’s Energy and Defense Capabilities

A crucial part of PM Modi’s visit involved discussions around energy security and defense preparedness. The US is playing an instrumental role in enhancing India’s defense capabilities, particularly by providing new technology and equipment to boost India’s defense forces. PM Modi also highlighted the importance of ongoing collaborations in the field of nuclear energy, specifically in relation to small modular reactors, which are crucial for India’s energy infrastructure.

Further, the two countries discussed the ongoing oil and gas dialogue, emphasizing the investment in energy infrastructure and ensuring energy security for India. With both sides committed to boosting their cooperation in these sectors, the foundation for a more secure and prosperous India-US relationship is being laid.

A New Chapter in India-US Relations

PM Modi’s trip to the US marks a new chapter in the India-US strategic partnership, with both nations moving forward with a renewed focus on trade, defense, and energy cooperation. In a meeting with President Trump and entrepreneur Elon Musk, PM Modi discussed these important aspects just hours after Trump had announced reciprocal tariffs on India and other nations.

This visit also holds significance as it marks PM Modi’s first official trip to the US after President Trump’s re-election, and he is the fourth world leader to meet Trump in this new phase of his presidency. Both countries are committed to fostering deeper ties and expanding their economic collaboration, making this a pivotal moment for India-US relations.
