Modi arrives in US for key meeting with Trump to discuss trade and immigration

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has arrived in the United States after a visit to France. He is set to meet President Donald Trump on February 13, marking his first bilateral visit since Trump began his second term. This meeting aims to strengthen India-US ties. During the visit, trade and immigration issues will be key topics. Trump has recently imposed tariffs on various countries, including a 10% tariff on China, and has expressed concerns about India's trade practices. Modi's government has already reduced tariffs on certain imports to facilitate discussions. The meeting comes amid a backdrop of deportations, with the Trump administration recently sending back a group of Indian immigrants. Modi is expected to address concerns regarding the treatment of Indian citizens during deportation and the importance of legal immigration channels.
