Modi to meet Trump and Cabinet in US to discuss tariffs and defense deals

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the United States on February 12-13 to meet President Donald Trump. This makes him the third foreign leader hosted by Trump in his second term. Modi is expected to discuss tariffs and defense trade. During the visit, Modi may offer tariff concessions to avoid trade conflicts with the U.S. The Indian government is considering reducing tariffs on various products, including electronics and medical equipment, to boost U.S. exports. Modi will also meet Trump's full Cabinet and billionaire Elon Musk. Discussions will include defense deals, such as the purchase of fighter plane engines and combat vehicles, as well as global issues like the conflicts in West Asia and Ukraine.
