Modi and Trump to discuss strengthening India-US relations in upcoming talks

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet President Donald Trump on February 13 for talks aimed at strengthening India-US relations. This meeting follows Modi's recent participation in an AI summit in Paris and marks a significant diplomatic engagement early in Trump's presidency. Trump's approach has shifted since his first term, focusing on aggressive trade policies and geopolitical strategies. He aims to enhance India's role against China while encouraging India to increase imports of US oil and weapons, especially as India's reliance on Russian supplies decreases. A key development is India's plan to amend its nuclear liability law, which could allow US companies to invest in India's nuclear energy sector. This change, announced before Modi's visit, aligns with Trump's preference for business-oriented agreements.
