By Shivam Patel NEW DELHI (Reuters) -Indian and U.S. diplomats are trying to arrange a February meeting between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington, two Indian sources familiar with the discussions told Reuters.

Jaishankar said that the two countries would like to deepen ties in defence, security, technology and more domains and are competing on how to take it forward.

India’s government is prepared to work with Donald Trump’s administration to identify and take back all its citizens residing illegally in the US, an early signal from New Delhi that it’s willing to comply with the incoming American president and avoid a trade war.

Trump's return to the White House has raised worries among officials in New Delhi about the imposition of tariffs on India, says report.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Donald Trump are reportedly planning a meeting in Washington in February, according to two Reuters sources in India. The meeting aims to enhance trade relations between the two nations and discuss simplification of procedures for Indian citizens to obtain skilled worker visas in the U.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s relationship with the world’s biggest economies has helped to build trust in India’s economy, which will help the nation overcome any “negative impacts” from shifts in global trade under US President Donald Trump,
