Former US President Donald Trump has said Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet him next week during his three-day visit to the US.

However, sources on the Indian side claimed that so far nothing is fixed on meeting Trump. He is a candidate in US elections and so far a meeting is ‘not on the cards’.

In February 2020, when Trump visited India, Modi had joined in his public engagement in Ahmedabad. The US has a large Gujarati diaspora.

Trump, last night, speaking at a town hall meeting in Michigan said Modi will meet him next week when he is in the US. The Republican presidential candidate said, “He (Modi) happens to be coming to meet me next week, and Modi, he’s fantastic. I mean, fantastic man. A lot of these leaders are fantastic.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
