Modi visits US to strengthen ties with Trump ahead of meeting

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting the U.S. to strengthen ties with former President Donald Trump. Ahead of the visit, India reduced tariffs on high-end motorcycles, aiming to improve trade relations and avoid Trump's criticism. Modi's government has also cooperated on deporting undocumented Indian immigrants, despite backlash from activists and opposition parties in India. This move aligns with Trump's focus on immigration issues. Modi will meet Trump on Thursday, marking a continuation of their previous relationship. The visit follows Modi's efforts to maintain strong ties with the U.S. under President Joe Biden, who has occasionally criticized Modi's human rights record.
