Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Washington next week to meet President Donald Trump. The meeting will focus on trade tariffs, immigration, and arms sales, amid rising tensions over the deportation of over 100 Indian migrants from the U.S. The deportation, which involved migrants being shackled, has sparked anger in India. Modi's government is also working to repatriate nearly 18,000 Indians living in the U.S. while seeking to protect legal migration pathways, including H-1B visas for skilled workers. In response to U.S. trade demands, India has reduced tariffs on certain motorcycles. Modi's visit comes as Trump seeks to strengthen ties with India while addressing concerns over tariffs and military purchases.
