Watch: Trump, India's Modi give remarks after White House meeting
President Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a joint conference Thursday afternoon following their meeting at the White House.
Trump invited Modi to Washington earlier this month after the two leaders spoke on the phone about expanding U.S.-India cooperation on a number of global issues.
A senior administration official told reporters that Thursday's conversation would focus on the trade and defense partnership between India and the U.S. The two are moving toward signing a new defense framework that would see India procure more equipment from the U.S., the official said.
Trump and Modi were also expected to discuss strengthening the Quad alliance, which consists of the U.S., India, Australia and Japan. India is slated to host the next Quad summit later this year.
Their remarks were expected to begin at 5:10 p.m. EST.
