On Tuesday morning, Trump will first receive a ceremonial welcome at the Rashtrapati Bhavan at 10 am as per the protocol. From there, he will go to the Rajghat to pay homage at the samadhi of Mahatma Gandhi.

This will be followed by both, restricted, and delegation-level talks between Trump and Modi at the Hyderabad House in the afternoon.

The talks would be followed by the exchange of agreements and Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) between the two countries.
