At least seven people, including a police officer, killed in clashes over a citizenship law, ahead of US President Donald Trump's arrival in Indian capital
Critics say the country is moving toward a religious citizenship test. At a massive rally in Ahmedabad after Trump's arrival on Monday, the president praised India's history of religious tolerance, saying many faiths "worship side by side in harmony.”President Donald Trump's two-day visit to India delved into substance Tuesday after opening with a heavy dose of pomp and pageantry, even as few concrete accomplishments were expected from the whirlwind trip.
Trump and Modi are expected to talk trade and other issues Tuesday as part of a jam-packed day in the nation's capital that will include a joint statement with Modi, meetings with business leaders and embassy officials, a visit to a memorial to independence leader Mohandas Gandhi, a news conference and an opulent state dinner before Trump boards his flight back to the US.
While the issue is expected to be discussed, Trump told reporters Monday that he was in "no rush” for progress as the two nations.
