Some highlights.
Trump will highlight India's multibillion-dollar purchases of U.S. natural gas. It's a striking contrast to Obama who emphasized climate change. Under the Paris Accord India and China get a pass.
India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits the White House and will be staying for dinner.
Trump will announce plans to supply India with 22 unarmed drones "in a deal worth more than $2 billion.
Trump will make a speech at the Energy Department. Not sure he will talk about the wall. I hope so. I love hearing about the wall. Solar ?

Could you explain more about the selling of natural gas to India? Doing some Google I see where the state-owned India energy company (GAIL) entered into a 20-year agreement to purchase liquefied natural gas back in early 2016:
U.S. shale gas sails to India as Gail buys LNG from Cheniere
"The Indian energy company has signed a 20-year sales and purchase agreement with Cheniere’s Sabine Pass Liquefaction LLC for the supply of 3.5 million tons per year of LNG. The company also signed a terminal service agreement for 2.3 million tons per year of LNG liquefaction capacity with Dominion Cove Point LNG. The shipments are expected to start in 2017 or 2018."
If the shipments are beginning now, aren't they in accordance with the agreement signed during the Obama Administration? Or is there something new?
I rather wish, concerning the drones, that we would keep our advanced technology, instead of selling such things to foreign countries do they can copy the technology. In time of war, our having things such as drones can make a difference. However, that horse has long left the barn, with ISIS even having some drones.
