Trump - It is important that barriers be removed to the export of U.S. goods into your markets, and that we reduce our trade deficit with your country. We're also looking forward to exporting more American energy to India as your economy grows, including major long-term contracts to purchase American natural gas, And next month, they will join together with the Japanese navy to take place in the largest maritime exercise ever conducted in the vast Indian Ocean.
Modi - Fighting terrorism and doing away with the safe shelters, sanctuaries, and safe havens will be an important part of our cooperation.The increasing instability, due to terrorism, in Afghanistan is one of our common concerns.  n the Indo-Pacific region, in order to maintain peace, stability, and prosperity in the region, this is also another objective of our strategic cooperation in this area.

Michael Kugelman -- Deputy Director and Senior Associate for the South Asia program at the Wilson Center, the Washington, DC think-tank. 'I do think that China is an area where the US and India are not as like-minded as they had been prior to Trump taking office. Trump's position toward China has evolved from one of outright hostility to cautious conciliation -- at least for now.'
