Donald Trump to speak to Narendra Modi today

Washington, Jan 24 (IBNS) : Days after taking over as American President Donald Trump will speak to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday amid concerns in India about the fate of the country's outsourcing industry with the US new dispensation coming in.

According to The World Street Journal, the conversation will be among several between  Trump and other world leaders this week as he begins his duties as U.S. president. He has already spoken with the leaders of Egypt, Israel, Canada and Mexico, and plans to host a visit from British Prime Minister Theresa May later this week.

The details about Trump's intended phone call to Modi are not yet known.

India’s president, Pranab Mukherjee, issued an invitation to  Trump and First Lady Melania Trump to visit India shortly after  Trump’s inauguration Friday. The White House hasn’t responded to the invitation.

After former US President Barack Obama and Modi worked to strengthen ties between the two countries, Trump's pre-election speeches that stoutly defended protectionism for Americans spoke against outsourcing industry and the H-B visa program, created a high uncertainty for millions of Indian  professionals.
