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 — defence and security, economics and trade and many more.
