Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in the United States on Wednesday (February 12) for a two-day visit, where he is set to hold high-stakes talks with President Donald Trump on trade and tariffs.
The meeting comes as Trump pushes for reciprocal tariffs on all countries imposing duties on U.S. imports, raising fears of a widening global trade war.
The Trump administration has long criticized India’s high tariffs, arguing they restrict U.S. goods from entering the Indian market. Trade analysts expect Modi to push for tariff concessions to ease tensions and strengthen bilateral economic ties.
