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.
