Modi heads to Washington for crucial trade talks with Trump

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is traveling to Washington to meet President Donald Trump for trade talks. Modi plans to offer tariff concessions and business deals to address trade tensions, particularly regarding US tariffs on Indian steel and aluminum. Ahead of the meeting, Modi has committed to increasing purchases of US liquefied natural gas and military equipment. Discussions will also cover US agricultural exports and tariff cuts in key sectors, as the US faces a significant trade deficit with India. In addition to trade, Trump is expected to discuss immigration issues and India's role in countering China's influence. Modi will also meet with Elon Musk to explore potential collaborations, including Musk's Starlink project in India.
