US President Donald Trump has hinted that there "could be" some announcement by him at the mega "Howdy modi!" event in Houston on Sunday, where he would join Prime Minister Narendra modi in addressing the 50,000 strong Indian diaspora. Meanwhile the White House on Monday announced that Trump would join modi at the mega Houston rally on September 22 as a "special gesture" by the US President to underscore the special bond between the two countries.
Furthermore it is for the first time that Trump and modi would share a stage together and the event is the third meeting between the two leaders in three months, after the G-20 summit in japan in June and the G-7 summit in france last month. Trump told reporters on Wednesday aboard Air Force One on his way back from California to Washington DC "Could be. I have a very good relationship with Prime Minister modi".
Moreover he was responding to a question if there would be any announcement when he goes to Houston for the rally with the Indian leader. Accordingly officials of the two countries are trying to finalize a trade deal before Prime Minister modi and Trump meet in Houston. Apparently trade tensions between india and the US have been rising with Trump complaining that tariffs imposed by New delhi on American products were "no longer acceptable".
