Trump considering visit to India next month

US President Donald Trump is considering visiting India next month, for what would be his first visit to the world's largest democracy since he took office three years ago, sources with knowledge of the matter said yesterday. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seeking to build close ties with Washington, had previously invited Trump to attend India's annual Republic Day parade later this month, but the US officials said it would clash with the president's State of the Union address. "There has been an open invitation for him to visit, both sides are working out the dates," one of the sources said. Another source said Trump could come in the second half of February and that he may visit a second city besides the national capital Delhi.
