US President Donald Trump is going to be on a state visit to India on February 24 and 25. Yesterday, Trump joked that he will be welcomed by 5-6 million people and Narendra Modi right from the airport in Delhi. This state visit comes months after the famous Howdy Modi event in Houston.

"I am extremely delighted that Trump and FLOTUS (Melania Trump) will visit India on 24th and 25th February. India will accord a memorable welcome to our esteemed guests. This visit is a very special one and it will go a long way in further cementing India-USA friendship," Modi today said.

He added that the two countries share a common commitment to democracy and pluralism. "Our nations are cooperating extensively on a wide range of issues. Robust friendship between our nations augurs well not only for our citizens but also for the entire world," the Prime Minister added.

Trump is on record stating that the US will sign a trade deal with India if it is the right thing.
