The American president can expect a warm welcome in Modi’s India

THE ENCOUNTER will be “brief and intense,” promises India’s foreign ministry. Scheduled to fit into 36 hours, Donald Trump’s first visit to India on February 24th and 25th will certainly be short. India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, a fellow iconoclastic populist who has already met the American president seven times, is packing it with passion, too.

Mr Modi has pulled out all the stops to ensure a great photo shoot. Authorities in Gujarat have speedily built a 500-metre wall to obscure anything unsightly. The Yamuna river that passes by the Taj, a stinky trickle in the current dry season, has been flushed and topped up. Mr Trump is sure to enjoy the warmth of welcome in a country where he is by some measures more popular than in his own.

But the get-together is not just about the mutual boosting of two vote-hungry political goliaths. Although relations between the world’s most powerful and populous democracies have often been surprisingly fraught, the past two decades have seen a surge in bilateral trade and a growing convergence of strategic interests, particularly regarding China. The two big democracies have in recent years signed a series of military co-operation deals.

Both sides will be keen to play up the positive gains. These include the likely sealing of several lucrative arms deals for India’s air force and navy, worth a combined $3.5bn, and the possible initialisation of a $1.9bn air-defence missile shield for the Indian capital. Another fat contract may go to Tellurian, an American LNG supplier. India’s state-owned gas importer, Petronet, plans to invest $2.5bn in a Louisiana plant in return for rights to up to 5m tons of gas a year.

No doubt he will be bringing the unlimited Treasury checkbook. Money can buy you love.

I thought that was on his 'S-hole' Country List?
