Trump concludes India visit without major agreements

President Donald Trump concluded a showy state visit to India on Tuesday with plenty of impressive photos but without major announcements on trade or security.

rump departed having cemented his close friendship with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, upon whom he lavished praise during public appearances over the course of his 36-hour visit.

But Trump was frank that Modi puts up a tough trade fight and that their disagreements on tariffs and deficits wouldn't be resolved in the near-term.

And he made no reference when standing alongside Modi of the contentious situation gripping India over the status of Muslims in the Hindu-majority society. Hours before Trump arrived in the Indian capital, violent clashes between supporters and opponents of Modi's Hindu nationalist stance left more than seven people dead.

He's never abided by any agreements he's involved in. A agreement from trump means absolutely nothing from this seasoned serial liar.

I'm not sure anyone told him this, but agreements are to be hammered out before a visit. Then, lots of PR (usually no murderous riots), a signature ceremony, and dinner. It's been this way for, oh let me think, for fucking ever. Presidents don't show up to chit chat. Any moron knows. . . whoops. Most morons know that. And real presidents certainly know that.

McDonald's in the USA will agree to offer curried veggie burgers for a limited time in a few selected markets (mostly in rural Idaho and Montana) as a test to see if traditional Indian food can be successfully offered in the US market. As a gesture to India, customers ordering these specialties must pay in Indian rupees.
