US President Donald Trump is likely to begin his three-day visit to India with an event in Ahmedabad on 23 February, reports Hindustan Times.

He is expected to visit Gandhi’s Sabarmati ashram and will address a town-hall like event, which may even see participation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The planned event will be substantially bigger than ‘Howdy Modi’ show held in Houston last year.

Afterwards, Trump will visit Delhi and Agra, which will be his last stop before he heads home, according to people close to discussions for the trip. A trade is also expected to be signed during the first visit of Donald Trump to India in the capacity of US president.

However, it should be noted that India is yet to announce Trump’s visit. Ministry of external affairs spokesperson Raveesh Kumar reportedly said on Friday (7 February) that both sides were in touch through diplomatic channels. He gave no further details about the visit.
