The trip comes amid simmering trade tensions. The US is India's second-largest trade partner, after China. In 2019, the US goods trade deficit was more than $23 billion. Washington wants India to buy more American agricultural products before it agrees to a wider pact.
The two countries have been strengthening defense ties. India is now a Major Defense Partner of the US. Last year, the two sides signed a deal to ease the transfer of advanced weaponry and share encrypted military communications. Trump said he and Modi will sign around $3 billion worth of defense deals during the visit.
