From Agra to Ahmedabad, civic authorities across several cities are aggressively working to clean and beautify the country to welcome US President Trump. The 36-hour visit of Trump and first lady Melania is expected to redefine the diplomatic ties between India and America.

Modi and Trump are likely to address a joint rally at the world’s largest cricket stadium in Motera near Ahmedabad. They have done it before at the ‘Howdy Modi’ event during September in the presence of 50,000 Indian-Americans in Texas.

Much ahead of the visit, rumours of a $10 billion trade deal were doing the rounds. But, Trump dashed hopes saying that it will not happen during the visit. But the countries are expected to sign a $2.6 billion defence deal to buy 24 Seahawk Helicopters.

The visit comes at a time when both Modi and Trump are going through a crisis of their own. India has seen a large number of protests against a citizenship bill while Trump is in the middle of an impeachment debate ahead of the US general election this year.

The US and India shared diplomatic ties for a long time, which went through many twists and turns. The US is India’s second largest trade partner after China and this visit could give a new direction to the escalating trade tensions between US-India. Trump will be the seventh US president to visit India in 72 years.
