Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to meet U.S. President Donald Trump, aiming to secure favorable trade deals and collaborate on countering China. Despite previous friction over tariffs, Modi offers to purchase U.S. goods and services, while addressing contentious issues like immigration and defense cooperation.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a mission to woo U.S. President Donald Trump during their meeting on Thursday. Armed with promises of increased trade and military collaboration, Modi hopes to defuse trade tensions with the U.S., which has criticized India as a major trade barrier.

The meeting's agenda includes potential deals on U.S. agriculture exports and investment in nuclear energy, as well as discussions on India's role in Trump's strategy to counter China. Modi's promises feature significant purchases of U.S. goods like liquefied natural gas.

Meanwhile, controversial issues such as unauthorized immigration and the indictment of billionaire Gautam Adani will also be discussed. Observers expect a challenging negotiation, with both leaders navigating a complex web of trade and geopolitical issues.
