Ending all speculation, US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met on the sidelines of the G-7 Summit in picturesque Basque coast in France.

French authorities detained 68 people taking part in a tense protest near the G-7 summit, something that has become a norm for such mega summits. The day also saw Donald Trump skipping the big meet on climate change.
