India rolls out the red carpet for Trump - thehill.com

Excerpts from article:

...Trump is expected to be warmly welcomed in India with a road show in the city of Ahmedabad, and he will headline the opening of the world's largest cricket stadium, an appearance that is expected to draw a crowd of more than 100,000 people.

...Trump will become the fourth consecutive president to visit India during his tenure, and the trip reflects and indeed cements the evolution of the U.S.-India bilateral relationship into a key strategic partnership since the early 2000s.

...Tensions between the United States and India over trade are likely to hang over the meeting between Trump and Indian Prime Minister , though the two have a positive bond and are likely to display that relationship in public even if they discuss any disagreements in private.

...India is said to be finalizing a deal to purchase U.S. military helicopters ahead of the trip, something Trump will be able to promote as an accomplishment of his administration.

...Trump may again raise the long-running conflict between India and Pakistan over the Kashmir region after saying last year that Modi had asked him to mediate the dispute - a claim India denied.
