"I am pleased to announce that tomorrow our representatives will sign deals to sell over $3 billion, in the absolute finest state-of-the-art military helicopters and other equipment to the Indian armed forces," the US President had said. The two sides are also likely to sign deals on traditional energy, nuclear energy, homeland security, intellectual property rights and healthcare.

Trump will also hold restricted and then delegation-level bilateral talks with PM Narendra Modi at Hyderabad House in the heart of Delhi. The US and India will sign agreements and then both leaders will make a joint statement.
