Chicago – January 28, 2025
U.S. President Donald Trump stressed the importance of India buying more American-made security equipment and moving toward a fair bilateral trading relationship in a phone call with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, the White House said.
Trump later himself told reporters they also spoke about the issue of immigration and that Modi will visit the U.S. sometime in February. The White House said earlier that plans for a Modi visit were discussed by the two leaders.
In what the White House called a “productive call,” the leaders discussed expanding and deepening cooperation and issues including security in the Indo-Pacific, the Middle East, and Europe.
Reuters reported last week that Indian and U.S diplomats are trying to arrange a meeting of the leaders as early as February.
