Trump emphasized the importance of India purchasing more American-made security equipment and moving toward a “fair” trade relationship. He also warned of potential tariffs against countries, including India, that he claimed impose high tariffs on US products.

This visit will mark Modi’s first time in the White House during Trump’s second term. Both leaders enjoy a strong rapport, having previously addressed joint rallies in Houston and Ahmedabad.

India’s Foreign Ministry assured cooperation on the return of undocumented Indian nationals, reiterating opposition to illegal migration while supporting legitimate mobility. The US Department of Homeland Security reported a sharp decline in illegal Indian immigrants, falling from 480,000 in 2018 to 220,000 by 2022.
