Okay - from the article is from INDIA! The clue was “Modi will visit U.S. President Donald Trump....”
Glad to here the press in India is making it a big deal - it sounds like that is what Trump is trying to get across.
The U.S. press will probably be “Trump will be rolling out the red carpet for Modi, which is usually reserved for heads of states rather than a Prime Minister. It is not known why this show of honor, although sources say that Modi may be Trump’s back channel to Russia.”
Narendra Modi is the Head Honcho of India. For those of you in Rio Linda, that means Narendra is the national leader of India.
As for the Indian head of state, that is Pranab Mukherjee. Ever heard of him? Me neither.
