The media learned about Modi's plans to meet with Trump in September.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi plans to travel to the United States in September to attend a meeting of the UN General Assembly and bilateral talks with US President Donald Trump. This was reported on August 13 by The Indian Express.
According to the newspaper's sources, the official reason for the visit to the United States is to attend the UN General Assembly in New York, but the key goal will be to meet with the US president, resolve trade issues and achieve a "common position" on duties. It will also provide an opportunity for the two leaders to announce a trade agreement.
It is noted that Modi's visit to the United States is scheduled for the last week of September.
On July 30, US President Donald Trump announced that from August 1, Washington would impose duties on imports from New Delhi in the amount of 25%. The politician explained that the decision on duties is also related to the trade imbalance between the United States and India.
The Indian Ministry of Trade and Industry said at the same time that the country remains committed to protecting its national interests against the backdrop of the imposition of US duties.
