New Delhi: American President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka, son-in-law Jared Kushner and a galaxy of top US officials will be part of the high-level delegation accompanying him during his visit to India on February 24 and 25, official sources said on Friday.
The US has already announced that First Lady Melania Trump will be part of the delegation.
Trump will arrive in Ahmedabad on February 24 for his less than 36-hour trip to India. From Ahmedabad, he will travel to Agra before arriving at the national capital for the main leg of the visit.
The US has confirmed that Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, Trump’s senior advisor, will be part of the US president’s delegation, official sources said.
Ivanka visited India in November 2017 to attend the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Hyderabad. She attended the summit at the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
This will be Trump’s first visit to India. In Ahmedabad, he will address the ‘Namaste Trump’ event jointly with Modi at the newly built Motera cricket stadium. After the event, the Trump family will travel to Agra where they will spend about an hour at the Taj Mahal before sunset. They will then leave for Delhi.
On the morning of February 25, Trump and the First Lady will be accorded a ceremonial welcome at the forecourt of the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
From there, they will go to Mahatma Gandhi’s memorial Rajghat.
This will be followed by restricted and delegation-level talks between Trump and Modi at Hyderabad House. (PTI)
