US President Donald Trump recently said he is looking forward to his first visit to India later this month and indicated to reporters at the Oval Office that he is willing to sign a trade deal with India if it is the right one. At the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he is scheduled to travel to India on February 24 and 25 and visit New Delhi and Ahmedabad.

"They (Indians) want to do something and we'll see... if we can make the right deal, (we) will do it," said Trump, a fortnight ahead of his visit to India.

Taranjit Singh Sandhu, India's new Ambassador, to the US, told a news agency that Trump's forthcoming visit is a ‘reflection of the strong personal rapport’ between Trump and Modi.

"It also demonstrates their strong desire to take the relationship to new heights," said Sandhu, who presented his credentials to the US president in Oval Office last week.
