Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s US visit will focus on defence cooperation, trade relations, and countering China’s influence. A major agenda item is the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC), an alternative to China’s Belt and Road Initiative. The Adani Group, with strategic infrastructure investments, plays a key role, including a 70% stake in Israel’s Haifa Port. IMEC aims to create a transparent, market-driven trade route connecting India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Europe. Meanwhile, Trump’s trade policies and India-US defence ties will also be discussed.
