Trade and visas top agenda for Trump-Modi meeting in Washington

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet U.S. President Donald Trump this week in Washington. Their discussions will focus on trade, tariffs, and visas, reflecting both leaders' interests in strengthening the U.S.-India partnership. Modi's government has already taken steps to lower tariffs and repatriate undocumented Indian immigrants. Trump is expected to request further tariff reductions and increased purchases of American oil, while Modi may seek U.S. investment in India's nuclear energy sector. Technology cooperation and the H-1B visa program for Indian workers will also be key topics. Additionally, Modi may discuss India's role in regional conflicts and the Indo-Pacific Quad alliance, which aims to counter China's influence.
