Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet President Donald Trump during a trip to the United States next week, the foreign ministry in New Delhi said on Friday. But New Delhi's foreign minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar on Thursday pointed out that the "process of deportation is not a new one",

The visit, happening within weeks of Trump assuming office, comes against the backdrop of tariff threats and the recent deportation of illegal Indian immigrants.

PM Modi's visit follows an invitation from President Trump, who returned to the White House for his second term just weeks ago.
