Trump, Alan Musk, Waltz… PM Modi’s back-to-back meeting in US, what did India get in 24 hours?
Washington:
International diplomacy means 24 hours in diplomacy. In such a time, a lot can be made for a country, so a lot can also deteriorate. Now look at the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi on a two -day visit to America. He has put a diplomacy car in the fourth gear in the first 24 hours from the round of back-to-back meetings. On this tour, bilateral talks were to be held with US President Donald Trump, before Modi met Billionaire Alan Musk to the US National Security Advisor Michael Waltz.
Let’s see how the meetings of PM Modi went on in the first 24 hours and what India got from it.
Meeting President Donald Trump
Prime Minister Narendra Modi started his two-day visit to America with high-profile meetings at Washington DC’s Blair House. The most important of this was a bilateral meeting with US President Donald Trump. This is the first meeting between Trump and PM Modi after taking oath of the second time of the US President on 20 January. With this meeting, after the beginning of the second term, he became one of the early global leaders to meet Trump. PM Modi’s visit took place after visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Shigeru Ishiba in Japan and Raja Abdullah II of Jordan.
After this meeting, the two leaders informed that the issues between the US and India have been agreed. Some of these are-
- India and America have agreed to work together for a big trade route (trade route). According to Trump, it will be one of the greatest trade routes in the world. This will run from India to Israel to Italy and further America. This partner will connect countries with roads, railways and cables running under the sea.
- From this year, America will increase military sales in India by several billion dollars. The way to give F35, stealth fighter aircraft to India is also being prepared.
- PM Modi has also clearly stated that if an Indian is living illegally in America, then India is ready to withdraw it.
- US President Trump announced that Tawwur Rana, convicted of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, would be brought to India.
Meet Alan Musk
In the new government of America, a narrator is clear. That is that Allen Musk is considered to be the strongest in Donald Trump administration. He has come very close to Trump. In such a situation, Elon Musk’s meeting of PM Modi was very important before meeting Trump. During the meeting, PM Modi was especially seen talking to the children of Allen Musk.

Even though this family meeting was held at first sight on the scales of diplomacy, but the optics here is big, the meaning of meeting is big. Alan Musk’s company Tesla has a lot of business in China. On the other hand, Trump is trying to mind China. In such a situation, if Alan Musk has to shift his business from China and shift elsewhere, then he hardly get a better option than India. In this context, this meeting of PM Modi and Allen Musk becomes important.
Meeting US National Security Advisor
There was a bilateral meeting between US National Security Advisor Michael Waltz and PM Narendra Modi at Washington DC’s Blair House. Foreign Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar and NSA Ajit Doval were also present in the meeting. He discussed defense, technology and security sectors, which are important aspects of Indo-US relations. PM Modi said that this meeting was meaningful and he called Waltz “a great friend of India”.

Meeting Vivek Ramaswamy
Soon after meeting Allen Musk at Blair House, Prime Minister Modi met Vivek Ramaswamy, an entrepreneur of Indian origin. Please tell that Ramaswamy initially joined the US presidential election race but finally retreated. Finally, he supported Donald Trump for the presidency. Foreign Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal said in a post on X that there was an in-depth discussion between PM Modi and Vivek Ramaswamy on the role of entrepreneurship in Indo-US relations, innovation, bio-technology and future shape.
