Going by the information acquired by analytical writing and correspondents from the New Delhi, the PM of India Narendra Modi is planning to visit US and meet the President of United States of America Donald Trump from 12th February to 13th only to discuss the affairs of trade, defense and other related matters. According to the schedule, Modi will directly move to Washington DC after his two day stay in Paris he said.
The Oval office meeting between the two presidents is anticipated to take place on the evening of February 13, the people said.Failure to remove the sanctions will mean the prime minister will not rescind it before leaving the american capital, they added. It would be the prime minister’s first bilateral visit to the US following Trump assume presidency for the second time on 20 January the following the outstanding electoral win in November.
This will make Modi one among the most limited of foreign leaders to visit Washington DC on a bilateral mode within weeks of the Trump’s government ascendance. There is still no confirmation from the authorities regarding this particular visit of Modi. It may be noted that last week, the Ministry of External Affairs stated that New Delhi is planning an “early” meeting with Washington for PM Modi’s America visit.
The prime minister shall attend Artificial Intelligence Action on 10-11 February in Paris. Modi’s current visit to the US is occurring at a time that the new policies of the US President are unwelcome in India more so on immigration and tariffs.
President Trump on Sunday plan to impose a tariff of 25 percent in the Canadian and Mexican as well as 10 percent on Chinese products. During a telephonic conversation on January 27, both the leaders agreed to develop bilateral relation on the principle of a ‘trusted’ deal and to enhance India- US relations in trade, energy and defense category respectively.
After the phone conversation, the White House release said that Trump during the conversation focused on the desirable raising of the Indian purchases of defence security equipment manufactured in the United States and aiming for parity in bilateral relations. ”Both leaders stressed this follows their vision to elevate the US India strategic relations and Quad in the Indo-Pacific region with leaders of Quad partners for the first time in India later this year,” it said.
The latter has already shown its willingness of increasing its energy cooperation with India particularly in clean energy. In a bid to change the Nuclear Liability Law that provoked concern in America and to establish the Nuclear Energy mission on the wake of Modi’s visit to US it made its new declaration in New Delhi on Saturday.
Some provisions in section five and six of the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act of 2010 are obstacles to progress regarding the implementation of the civil nuclear agreement between both countries which was sealed about 16 years ago.
Further, it is understood that New Delhi has shown interest in acquiring nuclear reactors from the US as SMRs. Holtec International based in the US is aware that it is among the companies that export SMRs across the globe, and the Department of Atomic Energy seems to be keen on partnering with it.
