Highlights
Both governments are exploring plans for Modi to travel to Washington DC.
As reports have come in about a proposed cut in H-1B visas for high-tech professionals, India and the US have also begun quiet talks to get a better understanding of each other’s positions.

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump could have their first meeting as early as May, as both governments explore plans for Modi to travel to Washington DC.
Modi and Trump would anyway have an opportunity to meet on the sidelines of the next G-20 summit in Hamburg, but that would be in a multilateral setting.
Sources said both governments are keen to have an early bilateral meeting. Modi and Trump had an early conversation after Modi called him to congratulate him on his victory. In recent weeks, Modi and Trump have had another longer talk on the phone, which touched upon issues of importance to both countries — defense and security, economics and trade etc.
James Mattis, the US defense secretary, has held his first conversation with defense minister Manohar Parrikar, while the new secretary of state Rex Tillerson spoke to Sushma Swaraj earlier this week.
National security adviser Mike Flynn, who had to quit recently, had already met Ajit Doval in the early days of the Trump administration when Doval visited him in Washington. The Mattis-Parrikar conversation was keenly watched for signals on how the Trump administration might want to proceed with the defence-security relationship which has increased substantively.
An official readout of the conversation said: "Secretary Mattis and minister Parrikar affirmed their commitment to sustaining the momentum on key bilateral defense efforts to include defense technology and trade initiative." In their conversation, Sushma and Tillerson "emphasized that close and strong relations between India and the US were not only of mutual interest but also had regional and global significance. In this context, they agreed to intensify cooperation in various sectors, including defense and security, energy, and economy," an official statement said.
As reports have come in about a proposed cut in H-1B visas for high-tech professionals, India and the US have also begun quiet talks to get a better understanding of each other's positions and ways to resolve what might become a hurdle in the relationship.
However, with domestic politics in the US becoming increasingly acrimonious, it has lent a degree of uncertainty to everything.
Addressing a geo-economic dialogue earlier this week in Mumbai, foreign secretary S Jaishankar cautioned that the world should not "demonize" Trump, but "analyze" him.
The Trump phenomenon, he said, is no passing whim of US electoral politics, but part of a much larger change globally. Later this month, India will see two different congressional delegations, from both Republican and Democrat ends of the aisle visiting India. The two groups of 19 and eight congressmen will visit New Delhi and Hyderabad and Bangalore, and be possibly one of the largest congressional delegations to visit India. The congressmen will get a first-hand experience of the Indian high-tech industry and their activities in the US. This is in the context of the three legislations introduced in the US Congress to curb entry of technology professionals.

It means a lot my friend.....

Going to America for begging was long gone....

World will watch patiently when Trump & Modi meet....

Insecure feeling in China increases, sulking by Russia

I am sure even American Govt was also waiting for their meeting....

LM, software industry, NSG, H1B, Space....these are not even the tip of iceberg.....

The only question is who gets what.....

Too early for Modi to ask for any kind of help from Trump w r t to Pakistan, China or India's urgent need for FDI to build infrastructure.

Trump is favourable to India but asking him for any kind of help is way too early.

Modi and the MEA have more brains than that
surely Mr H Sud you could know better ? the days of india asking for anything were thrown out a LONG time ago with Mr JN .

what they should and i believe will do is to offer ( NOT ASK FOR ; BUT OFFER ) military joint projects where both stand to gain .....they are going to paint scenarios where our common best friend the ccp-prc-china intentions and military growth will be painted in the form of certain scenarios

and thus will be good for usa-india maybe even add israel to counter china-pak plus iran

it's not going there asking , it is offering our point of view and MEA and Modi are not going there unprepared do you think ? crikey !

For starters, the Pakis have been forced to arrest Hafiz Saeed and cancel 43 of his and his associate terrorists gun licenses. There's more to come. All this thanks to US pressure on the Pakis due to Doval's back door consultations with the US administration. This would never have been possible if Clinton was ruling the roost. Didn't happen in Obama's time too. So things are finally moving under Trump where India's national interests are concerned.

Trump is a fool and a illiterate. The real power lies with Steve Bannon who is a fascist and racist. For these people Indians are monkeys jumping from trees. We should for starters ask them what their plans are for TOT for single engine deal. The answer will be a big FO. Best is to then announce that Grippen has won the contract. Would love to see the expression on face of American MII complex and it will intensify the power struggle in US between MII and Trump racists.

Wow....Calm down my friend....

Even Russia would say the same if we have asked for full TOT on aero engine....

What would SAAB bring to India...!!??

F 16 would bring OEM for around 4000 operational fighters....

When Modi & Trump(Bannon & Doval) meet, they will discuss in many issues...

If you expect engine tot just forget it from America..

France is giving it and if Kaveri gets operational by 2019, you may even see follow-up order atleast 90 more Rafale fighters...

The single engine fighter contract is not for the aero engine but for fighter aircraft construction in India. Trump will never allow F16 factory to shift to India or he will be politically finished. he will use sweet words and ask India to buy F16 off the shelf from LM's Fort Worth facility. We should say a firm NO with capital N. And Banon will not even give his toilet paper to Doval. These people are totally unhinged. Better to buy Grippen . At least the aircraft body, and radars will be made in India and can be used in LCA MK2 and AMCA.

Yes. P .M. Modi should certainly visit USA and meet Prez. Trump. Why not ? Two great nations, the USA and India need to be more friendly and that's good for entire human race.

There are many commonalities in two leaders...one..both are nationalists and patriotic...two..PM Modi says "India first" and Prez Trump says "America first" Both leaders are democratically elected. Both nations are pluralistic societies believe in tolerance for other religions, differing ideologies and freedom of the people.

These two great nations can learn a lot from each other. Me..an Indian-American citizen will rejoice PM Modi's visit to the United States.

Either provide the source or Shut your empty self loathing Blabbering.

Trump under US will not give anything without something in return, just like any other leader. However, Trump may be more prone to aggravating Chini-Paki nexus.

While I understand there are a lot of issues that need attention, we don't want to seem too eager in what's likely to be hard negotiations.

After all, we don't want to look like May from UK, utterly desperate to appease the US.

I second that, I believe Modi and MEA knows whats best, Modi has spent his entire life in RSS and have seen every up and down politics has to offer, he is an intelligent man, I believe he will do whats best for India. As far as joint projects are concerned, thats up to our institutions to make the best of the oppurtunity and try and get as much as possible .... in some projects we have gained alot and in some we have utterly wasted oppurtuities. But I think under Modis leadership the overall picture is good.
I think he will be able to handle Trump.

Actually It is call much earlier than anticipated. Trump back one China police but China not responding in manner that American want . This is situation for India . China was always bulling India . Now it will time tell what America offer to India to counter China . But one thing is in favour of India that Modi is here . Congress will be doing what they did in last 10 year to waste opportunity . We need fund . FDI . Business share from American. And last but not least is defence tot from America . A powerful India will be better friend of America .
