Important talks with President Trump

Modi will meet US President Donald Trump at 2:30 pm (Indian time) on Friday night. The two leaders are expected to discuss issues such as tariffs, trade balance, status of Indian immigrants and regional security in this meeting of about 45 minutes. The Trump administration has previously expressed concern over India's high tariff rates, and efforts to further strengthen trade relations between the two countries will be considered in this meeting.

National security and intelligence cooperation discussed

Prime Minister Modi's visit began with a meeting with US National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard. Gabbard, who has recently been appointed to this post, will now take charge of 18 intelligence agencies of America including CIA and NSA. In this meeting, both the countries emphasized on increasing mutual cooperation on counter-terrorism operations, cyber security, and global emerging threats. Modi congratulated Tulsi Gabbard on her appointment and reiterated his commitment to strengthen the US-India strategic partnership.

Mike Waltz and Indian delegation hold talks

On Thursday night, Prime Minister Modi met US National Security Advisor (NSA) Mike Waltz. The talks were also attended by Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar and India's National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. Important issues such as stability in South Asia, security challenges in the Indo-Pacific region and India-US defense cooperation were discussed in this meeting.

Possible talks on India-US trade and immigration policy

Since the Trump administration came back to power, tariffs have been announced on Canada, Mexico and China. Although no specific tariff has been imposed on India yet, Trump has criticized India's high tariff policy several times. Apart from this, the presence of more than 7.25 lakh illegal immigrants in the US remains a sensitive issue. It is likely that this will also be discussed in the talks between Modi and Trump.

State dinner and interaction with the Indian community

A major highlight of Modi's US visit will be the State Dinner hosted at the White House, in which he will have a formal meeting with Trump and other senior US officials. Apart from this, Modi will also meet members of the Indian community in the US, who play a key role in strengthening India-US relations.

Trump's meeting with other world leaders

President Trump has so far held only four official meetings with foreign leaders during his second term. Earlier, he had met the Prime Minister of Israel, the Prime Minister of Japan and the King of Jordan. His meeting with Modi reflects the importance of this visit.

Conclusion

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the US is an important occasion to further strengthen the trade, security and strategic partnership between the two countries. His talks with Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, Mike Waltz and Donald Trump make it clear that this visit will help take the mutual interests of India and the US to new heights.
