PM Narendra Modi is scheduled to arrive in Washington, D.C., at 6:00 PM EST February 13, 2025 - Bilateral Meetings:

10:30 AM - 1:30 PM EST - Series of bilateral meetings (details to be shared later).

The personal rapport shared between Modi and Trump, built through back-to-back visits, is expected to shape their upcoming discussions. Both leaders align on key global issues, viewing China and radical Islam as significant threats.

They are also recognized for their strong leadership styles and emphasis on economic nationalism. Their bond was first highlighted during Modi's visit to Houston for the "Howdy Modi" event in September 2019, followed by Trump's visit to Ahmedabad in February 2020. These engagements laid the groundwork for a strategic partnership, which will likely influence their upcoming talks.

Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States on January 20. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be among his first foreign visitors. Before meeting PM Modi, President Trump held talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba. On Tuesday, he also met with Jordan's King Abdullah.

The Modi-Trump meeting takes place as trade, defense collaboration, and energy have emerged as key focus areas in India-US relations.
