PM Modi US Visit: From Tariffs to Meeting with Elon Musk, Check What's Likely to Dominate the Meeting

PM Modi US Visit: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has arrived in the United States for a two-day visit following an invitation from former US President Donald Trump. His visit holds significance as both nations aim to strengthen their strategic partnership, covering trade, investment, and global challenges.

During PM Modi’s US visit, he will stay at the historic Blair House, a prestigious diplomatic residence opposite the White House. Over the years, this 70,000-square-foot establishment has hosted world leaders, making it an important venue for high-level discussions. 

Key Agendas of PM Modi's US Visit

One of the top priorities of PM Modi’s US visit is addressing new trade restrictions imposed by the United States. Recently, the US raised tariffs on steel and aluminium imports, impacting Indian exporters. The meeting with Donald Trump is expected to focus on resolving these trade barriers, ensuring Indian businesses are not affected.

Apart from tariffs, discussions will likely cover investment opportunities, technology partnerships, energy collaborations and smoother immigration policies. Defence cooperation and security in the Indo-Pacific region may also be major talking points.

PM Modi's Meeting with Elon Musk 

A highly anticipated part of PM Modi’s US visit is his meeting with Elon Musk. Reports suggest that the two will discuss the expansion of Tesla and the possible entry of Starlink in India. Starlink, Musk’s satellite internet venture, could play a major role in improving connectivity in remote Indian regions.

This meeting is crucial as India pushes for advanced technology partnerships with global leaders. If Tesla’s entry into India progresses, it could boost the electric vehicle market and create new job opportunities.

Indo-Pacific Security and Ukraine War

Beyond trade and business, PM Modi and Donald Trump are expected to discuss key global concerns. The situation in Ukraine, tensions in West Asia, and security in the Indo-Pacific region are high on the agenda. Strengthening diplomatic ties and addressing mutual concerns remain essential for both nations.

As PM Modi’s US visit continues, all eyes are on the outcomes of his crucial meetings with Donald Trump and Elon Musk, shaping future relations between India and the US.
