Narendra Modi to visit US at White House invitation

A White House official, who was not named, said that US President Donald Trump has invited Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit the White House next week.

This comes after Donald Trump spoke to Narendra Modi on the phone on January 27 this year, during which they discussed immigration, the importance of India buying more US-made security equipment, and bilateral trade relations.

It is worth noting that India is a strategic partner of the US in its efforts to counter China and is keen to strengthen trade relations with the US and make it easier for its citizens to obtain skilled worker visas.
