Reuters, NDTV, and Bloomberg reported on October 23 that Modi will attend the ASEAN Summit online, or cancel the meeting with Trump. It is reported that Modi has confirmed to participate in the 47th ASEAN Summit, which will be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from October 26 to 28, via online means. Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar said he respects this decision. At the same time, the Malaysian Foreign Minister confirmed that Trump will visit Malaysia. Modi's move indicates that his plan to meet with Trump may be canceled, and this arrangement also implies that India and the US have not yet reached a trade agreement. Analysts believe that one of the main obstacles in India-US trade negotiations is India's import of oil from Russia. In response, the US has imposed tariffs of up to 50% on India, which in turn has intensified the negotiation difficulties. It is reported that Modi had originally planned to visit Cambodia and Malaysia, but due to changes in the schedule, he canceled the visit to Cambodia, while the attendance at Malaysia was represented by Sujan Singh.
