U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo arrived on Tuesday for talks with Indian leaders in New Delhi, where he is expected to tackle a host of delicate issues from trade to India's longstanding defence and energy ties to Russia and Iran.Relations between the United States and India have improved dramatically since the Cold War but they have still fallen short of their promise and now have run into serious problems over tariffs, flows of data and tighter Indian rules on online commerce in one of the world's fastest growing large markets.Pompeo landed in New Delhi late on Tuesday night after an unannounced trip to Kabul.
He will kick off his visit to India by calling on Prime Minister Narendra Modi who was re-elected for a second term last month with a powerful mandate that analysts say gives him the chance to take bold reforms to propel Asia's third largest economy towards faster growth.
BEFORE THE MODI-TRUMP TALKS
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will hold talks on Wednesday; Pompeo will later call on Prime Minister Narendra Modi
India’s data norms opposed by US digital majors, contentious trade issues, H1B visa, and terrorism are likely to come up for discussion
Pompeo’s visit comes ahead of the meeting between US President Donald Trump and Modi on the sidelines of the G20 Summit later this month
Just ahead of his visit, New Delhi imposed tariffs on some U.S. goods after President Donald Trump's administration threw India out of a group of countries that were allowed duty free access for some of their products into the large U.S. market.
