Trump and Modi focus on trade and security in Washington meeting

U.S. President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met in Washington on February 13, discussing trade and weapons sales. They did not address human rights or minority issues, which have been sidelined in U.S.-India relations. Concerns about India's human rights record have diminished in Washington as India strengthens its trade ties and counters China. Both leaders share similar views on these issues, according to experts. During the meeting, immigration was discussed, with Trump focusing on illegal immigration and Modi advocating for U.S. visas for skilled workers. The leaders also touched on crime cooperation, but Trump did not comment on India's actions against Sikh separatists.
