Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the United States for a two-day trip beginning February 12, with a key meeting scheduled with President Donald Trump in Washington on February 13. The visit follows an invitation from Trump and is expected to focus on trade, defense, and strategic cooperation.
The White House confirmed the visit, stating that both leaders aim to strengthen economic and security ties. According to officials, discussions may include India’s procurement of American defense equipment, trade imbalances, and collaboration in technology and energy sectors. Global geopolitical issues, including China’s influence in the Indo-Pacific, could also feature prominently in the talks.
The meeting comes just weeks after a phone conversation between Modi and Trump on January 27, where they reportedly discussed fair trade practices and deeper defense cooperation. Trump has been vocal about India increasing its imports of American-made security systems, while New Delhi is expected to push for smoother trade terms.
This will be Modi’s first bilateral visit to the US since Trump’s re-election. Given shifting global alliances, the outcome of this meeting could shape the future trajectory of India-US relations. Both leaders have a history of high-profile engagements, and this meeting is expected to reinforce diplomatic and economic partnerships between the two nations.
