US president Trump begins India tour today



KATHMANDU: US President Donald Trump is embarking on a two-day official visit to India on Monday, BBC reported.

Trump’s visit is expected to scale up bilateral ties between the two countries, even though a big announcement of a trade deal is not expected, according to the report.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will receive Donald at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel international airport prior to participating in the “Namaste Trump” rally at the Motera Stadium.

After addressing the rally along with Modi, Trump and his delegation will fly to Agra so that he and First Lady Melania Trump can spend some time at the Taj Mahal before sunset.

The US delegation will then fly to Delhi, where Trump and Modi will hold wide-ranging talks on Tuesday.

Modi and Trump hold talks on a wide range of bilateral and regional issues including trade and investment, defense and security, counterterrorism, energy security, religious freedom, proposed peace deal with the Taliban in Afghanistan and the situation in the Indo-Pacific, according to the reports.
