H1-B visas, trade wars, S-400 missile defence systems from Russia, Iranian oil – after a steady high, a few hugs between Modi and Trump – these are the handful of thorns in India-US relations and on Wednesday, 26 June, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Minister of External Affairs S Jaishankar met to smoothen out their differences.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is on a three-day visit to India. On day one, he met both PM Modi and EAM S Jaishankar.

Before the visit, Pompeo seemed to have done his homework because in a statement he said, “Modi hai toh mumkin hai.”
