Amid strained relations with India, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would not answer questions on why he has not secured a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his upcoming trip to the G20 summit in New Delhi, India, or why trade talks with the country had stalled.

“The G20 is a really important moment for us to have conversations about what’s going on in the world right now,” Mr. Trudeau said during a press conference in Singapore on Sept. 7, where he was promoting Canadian trade and businesses.
