President Trump spoke Monday with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, discussing the relationship between their two countries and plans for Modi to visit the White House. During the call, Trump stressed that India should increase the amount of American-made security equipment it purchases in an effort to balance the trade relationship between the two countries,

The two leaders also doubled down on their friendship, which began during Trump's first term in office. Trump attended a rally with Modi in Houston in 2019, and visited India in 2020.

President Trump has also invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House next week, marking the first foreign leader visit of his second term. This meeting comes as the US continues its diplomatic efforts to maintain a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas following a prolonged 15-month conflict in Gaza.
