On January 16, the Ministry of External Affairs had announced that India and the US are in contact and discussing the proposed visit of Donald Trump. However, the exact dates were not known then. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar had said that speculations had been made for months over Trump’s visit ever since Prime Minister Modi invited him on his trip to Houston in the US.

During the ‘Howdy Modi’ event in Houston in September last year, Modi met Trump and invited him and his family to visit India, saying the trip would give new heights to US and India’s shared dreams. The invitation was reiterated by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar when they had called on Trump in White House after meeting American officials Mark Esper and Mike Pompeo during the 2+2 Ministerial Dialogue in Washington in December last.
