TUESDAY

On the second day of President Trump’s trip to India, he and Prime Minister Narendra Modi appeared before reporters in the lush garden of Hyderabad House, the iconic building typically used to host foreign leaders.

Speaking in front of a backdrop of flags, flowers and fountains, they celebrated a series of modest agreements that were completed before the visit. These included a $3 billion arms purchase and a letter of cooperation between Exxon Mobil and India’s energy sector. They also agreed to create a joint counternarcotics working group to reduce opioid abuse.

While Mr. Trump said before departing for the United States that “we may make a tremendous deal there,” the two sides appeared far apart on major points of a potential trade pact.
