NEW DELHI (Bloomberg): US President Donald Trump met his Indian counterpart in New Delhi Tuesday (Feb 25), amid growing tensions between rival protesters in the capital and with a host of critical issues from defence to regional security on the agenda.

Now that the US-India trade agreement looks likely to be pushed until after the US election, news of a US$3 billion military deal has boosted hopes the visit will result in real progress on defence ties.
