Modi visits Washington to strengthen India-U.S. ties with trade and defense talks

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in Washington for a two-day visit, marking a key moment in India-U.S. relations. He is the fourth foreign leader hosted by President Trump since his second term began. Both leaders will discuss trade, immigration, and defense. Modi's visit follows recent deportations of Indian nationals by the Trump administration, raising concerns in New Delhi. The leaders are expected to explore legal immigration pathways and address trade tariffs that have affected Indian companies. The U.S. and India share concerns about China, viewing it as a strategic rival. The Trump administration is focusing on strengthening ties with India, recognizing its potential as a key player in the Indo-Pacific region.
