Verify that a trade deal between President Trump and Prime Minister Modi has been reached and that U.S. and Indian officials publicly welcomed it (e.g., official texts of an agreement, announcements, or corroborating press releases).
An official U.S. State Department readout of Secretary Marco Rubio’s Feb. 3, 2026 meeting with Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar states, “Secretary Rubio and Minister Jaishankar welcomed the trade deal reached between President Trump and Prime Minister Modi.” Reporting from Reuters and Al Jazeera on Feb. 3–4, 2026 corroborates that a U.S.-India trade deal was announced and that senior officials discussed and reacted to it in related meetings. Verdict — True: the State Department readout is a primary source that directly confirms the claim.
