US President Donald Trump has said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will do “what is right” on illegal immigrants, underlining that discussions are going on with India.

President Trump made these remarks on Monday while talking to reporters aboard Air Force One on his way back to Joint Base Andrews from Florida. He also mentioned that Prime Minister Modi is likely to visit the White House in February.

Separately, in a readout of a phone call between both leaders, the White House said that Trump had a “productive” phone call with Modi and sought a move towards a “fair” bilateral trading relationship and deeper India-US cooperation.

While talking to House Republicans at a Florida retreat on Monday, President Trump said that the US would impose tariffs on the countries that “harm” America as he named China, India and Brazil as high-tariff countries.

“We’re going to put tariffs on outside countries and outside people that really mean harm to us… Look at what others do. China is a tremendous tariff maker, and India and Brazil and so many other countries. So we’re not going to let that happen any longer because we’re going to put America first,” he said.

Meanwhile, during their phone call, the two leaders also discussed plans for Modi to visit the US, the White House said in the readout.
