The US President Donald Trump, along with the First Lady Melania Trump is all set to make his maiden visit to India this month.<\/strong> Yesterday, the White House Press Secretary made an official statement confirming President Trump\u2019s 2-day visit to India (February 24-25), which is being dubbed as a stride towards strengthening the US-India strategic partnership and defence cooperation.<\/p>\n

The schedule of President Trump\u2019s state visit to India includes a public event in New Delhi<\/span><\/a>, which will be organized along the lines of \u2018Howdy Modi<\/a>\u2019 in Houston that Indian Americans had organized for PM Narendra Modi in 2019, and a sojourn in Ahmadabad. According to the White House\u2019s statement, the President and the First Lady will travel to PM Narendra Modi\u2019s home state of Gujarat that played a crucial role in Mahatma Gandhi\u2019s life and witness his leadership in the Indian freedom movement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Notably, PM Modi had invited Trump to visit India, during his official trip to the US in 2017. While in India, President Trump and Melania Trump will \u2018interact with a wide cross-section of Indian society.\u2019 Neither Washington DC<\/span><\/a> nor New Delhi did mention whether Trump\u2019s first India trip includes a stopover at the Taj Mahal in Agra.<\/strong> Trump Tajmahal in Atlantic City, one of his properties, is named after the Mughal monument.<\/p>\n

In Ahmedabad, Donald Trump and his better half will be hosted in the \u2018Kem Cho, Trump!\u2019 rally, for which the plans are underway. The \u2018Kem Cho, Trump!\u2019 rally in Ahmedabad is expected to be as grand as the \u2018Howdy Modi!\u2019 in Houston<\/span><\/a>, USA.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Both the leaders, Trump and Modi, will share the dais to inaugurate the world\u2019s largest cricket stadium, Motera Stadium or Sardar Patel museum in Ahmedabad<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, on February 25. In 2016, the stadium was completely demolished and has been reconstructed to the bare bones, at the cost of $100,000,000. Post reconstruction, Motera Stadium is spacious enough to accommodate 110,000 spectators, which surpasses the capacity of Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia.<\/p>\n

The Sabarmati waterfront is likely to be the backdrop for some light-hearted moments of Donald Trump\u2019s sojourn in Gujarat. A casual talk between Modi and Trump is anticipated during a stroll along the Sabarmati waterfront.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In addition to the inauguration of Motera Stadium and the \u2018Kem Cho, Trump!\u2019 rally in Ahmedabad, President Trump\u2019s visit to India will culminate in the most awaited inking of a $2.6 billion deal for India\u2019s purchase of naval military Seahawk helicopters from a US defence firm<\/strong>, according to Mukesh Aghi, the president of the US-India Strategic and Partnership forum. The White House has already accepted India\u2019s proposal to buy an integrated Air Defence Weapon System from the United States for about USD 1.87 billion.\u00a0India\u2019s spend on defence and military purchases from the USA has totaled up to 417 billion since 2007.<\/p>\n
