Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit the United States next month to attend the United Nations General Assembly, where he may hold talks with President Donald Trump, according to the Indian Express.
The Assembly begins on 9 September, with the annual leaders’ meeting scheduled for 23–29 September.

"That's aspirational, but I think we are in a good position," he said, adding " I think we can be, we will have agreed on substantial terms with all the substantial countries."
