Trump to host Modi on June 26

New Delhi: At the invitation of US President Donald Trump, Prime Minister Modi will visit Washington DC on June 25-26. It will be Modi's first meeting with President Trump, whose presidency began on January 20. The two leaders have spoken over phone at least thrice since the latter assumed office.

This meeting comes at a time when Trump made critical comments about India while announcing America's decision to pull out of the Paris climate change agreement.

Trump has accused India and other countries of trying to extract "billions and billions and billions" of dollars in foreign aid from the developed world to sign up for the climate accord.
