Pompeo meets Indian leader amid trade tensions
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo began official meetings in India's capital on Wednesday amid growing tensions over trade and tariffs that have strained the partners' ties.

India imposed tariffs on 28 US products, including apples and almonds, on June 16 in retaliation for the US ending India's preferential trade status on June 1 and imposing higher duties on products including aluminium and steel.
Pompeo met India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday morning. He is later scheduled to meet his counterpart S Jaishankar.

"Working together to further deepen our strategic partnership, Secretary Pompeo called on PM Narendra Modi to exchange views on various aspects of Indo-US relationship," spokesman for the ministry of external affairs Raveesh Kumar, said in a Twitter post.
