The United States President is also expected to deliver a 30-minute speech at the event. He will be the first American president to address such a large gathering of Indian-Americans.

Speaking to news agency ANI at the venue, US Senator for Texas, John Cornyn hoped the two leaders will sort out their trade differences after their meeting.

“I don’t know specifically about what sort of discussions the President and PM are going to have. I won’t be surprised if there is some announcement by President Trump today, hopefully we’ll be able to sort out trade differences,” he was quoted as saying.
