Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump met for the first time since the latter’s return to the White House for a second term. PM Modi is one of the first global leaders to travel to the US for an official visit and meet Donald Trump. The two leaders held bilateral talks at the White House where they talked about trade, tariffs and immigration, among other issues.

Donald Trump reacted sharply to the question of Khalistani separatists in the US working against India. He said, “I don’t think India had a good relationship with the Biden administration…A lot of things happened that weren’t very appropriate between India and the Biden Administration."

Reflecting on the extradition of Tahawwur Rana, an accused in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, to India, Donald Trump said, “We are giving a very violent man (Tahawwur Rana) back to India immediately. There are more to follow because we have quite a few requests.

Donald Trump asserted, “So, we work with India on crime and we want to make it good for India."

Tahawwur Rana, a Pakistani-origin Canadian citizen, was convicted in the US for supporting the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). He is wanted in India for his alleged role in facilitating the Mumbai attacks that killed over 174 people.
