NEW DELHI: India and the US are in touch over New Delhi’s invite to President Donald Trump to visit the country, and the date, time and occasion of the possible trip are under consideration, official sources said on Thursday.

The sources indicated that India was not exclusively looking at his presence at the Republic Day celebrations as chief guest and that various other options are also being explored.

This, though, is also being seen as a sign that the response to the invite for R-Day has not been very encouraging. TOIhad first reported on July 23 that India had invited Trump for Republic Day.
