Trump had announced to meeting with Modi

Misri said that PM Modi is going to have many meetings and all of them are being finalized right now. I am not in a position to say anything about any specific meeting right now. Time also has to be taken care of. Let us tell you that Trump had said in one of his election rallies a day earlier that PM Modi was coming to meet him. In the rally, Trump sharply criticized India's trade policy but described Indian PM Modi as a great person.
