PM Modi set to pay 2-day visit to US beginning February 12
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to pay a two-day visit to the US beginning February 12 to hold wide-ranging talks with US President Donald Trump, people familiar with the matter said on Monday.
As per the plan, Modi will travel to Washington DC after concluding his two-day visit to Paris, they said.
It would be the prime minister’s first bilateral visit to the US after Trump became president for a second term.
Modi will be among a very handful of foreign leaders to travel to Washington DC on a bilateral visit within weeks after the Trump administration came to power for the second term.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would probably be visiting the White House for a meeting with him in February.
“I had a long talk with him this morning (Monday). He is going to be coming to the White House, over next month, probably February. We have a very good relationship with India,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One .
The president was responding to a question on the phone call he had with PM Modi .
“Everything came up (in a phone call with Modi),” Trump told reporters when asked about the details of his call with Prime Minister Modi.
Trump and Modi enjoy a good friendly relationship. The two addressed thousands of people at two different rallies in Houston in September 2019 and in Ahmedabad in February 2020.
Modi was among the top three world leaders to speak with Trump after his stunning electoral victory in November 2024.
