US President Donald Trump met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who Trump called a “great friend,” while also warning him of tariffs after signing a sweeping new order.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in the US on Thursday to meet US President Donald Trump with the hopes of relaxation on tariffs and immigration polices.
During Trump’s past tenure, Modi share a good rapport with him and is now going to meet the US president with hope of rekindling their relationship.
In addition to trade tariffs and immigration policies, Modi’s meeting with Trump is also likely to center on business deals and improving bilateral relations.
Before leaving for Washington, Modi said the visit was a chance to “deepen our partnership” in key areas such as technology, trade, defense and energy.
Shortly after landing in the US, Modi met with US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, focusing on enhancing intelligence cooperation in counter-terrorism and emerging threats.
