PM Modi to Meet Elon Musk at the White House Ahead of Talks with President Trump

Washington DC: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to meet billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk today at the White House, ahead of his bilateral talks with US President Donald Trump. The meeting comes as part of PM Modi’s two-day visit to the United States, which began on Wednesday night at the invitation of President Trump.

Upon his arrival in Washington DC, PM Modi was welcomed at the airport by India’s Ambassador to the US, Vinay Mohan Kwatra, and other senior officials.

PM Modi and Elon Musk have met on several occasions before, including during the prime minister’s 2015 visit to San Jose, where the Tesla CEO personally gave him a tour of the company’s facility.

Before his scheduled meetings with President Trump and Musk, PM Modi held discussions with US Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard on Wednesday. During their conversation, they explored various aspects of India-US relations. “Met USA’s Director of National Intelligence, @TulsiGabbard in Washington DC. Congratulated her on her confirmation. Discussed various aspects of the India-USA friendship, of which she’s always been a strong votary,” PM Modi shared on X.

Later, PM Modi arrived at Blair House, where he was warmly greeted by members of the Indian diaspora, who welcomed him with chants of “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” and “Modi Modi.” The prime minister expressed his gratitude for their heartfelt reception.

This visit marks PM Modi’s first trip to the US since President Trump assumed office for a second term.
