The prime minister will be on a two-day visit  to Washington DC from June 25 after an invitation from US President Donald Trump. The meeting will be PM Modi's first with Trump who took over as the president on January 20.

The meeting between the two leaders who have spoken over the phone at least thrice since the latter assumed office, comes at a time when Trump made critical comments about India while announcing America's decision to pull out of the Paris climate change agreement.

President Donald Trump has accused India and other countries of trying to extract "billions and billions and billions" of dollars in foreign aid from the developed world to sign up for the climate accord.
