MEETING IN US
What Trump wants from India First Modi
Indian Prime Minister Narendra is expected to assure Trump the US has nothing to fear from India’s growing economic clout
Washington — US President Donald Trump was due to host Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday for a first face-to-face meeting, seeking to add new fizz to a flourishing relationship between the world’s two largest democracies. Despite differences over issues such as immigration and climate change, Modi was expected to assure Trump the US had nothing to fear from India’s growing economic clout. Regional security is expected to be high on the agenda as Washington considers deploying up to 5,000 additional troops in Afghanistan and seeks to encourage what an administration official describes as India’s "positive role" in the country.
