New Delhi/Washington: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on 26 June hold talks with President Donald Trump on a range of issues, including terrorism and India’s concerns over possible changes in H1B visa rules, in their first bilateral meeting after the new administration took over in the US. In Washington, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said Trump “looks forward” to his meeting with Modi on June 26 and discuss ways to strengthen the bilateral ties to “advance our common priorities: fighting terrorism, promoting economic growth and reforms, and expanding security cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region.” “President Trump and Prime Minister Modi will look to outline a common vision for the US-India partnership that is worthy of their 1.6 billion citizens,” Spicer said. He said they are expected to set forth a vision that will expand the bilateral partnership “in an ambitious and worthy way of both countries’ people.” External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj in her annual press meet last week, however, said Modi would also raise the issues surrounding the US’ plans to reduce the number of H-1B visa slots that are mainly used by Indian IT workers.
