Prime Minister Narendra Modi with President Donald Trump at the White House.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a joint statement with US President Donald Trump after holding delegation talks. PM Modi had arrived at the White House earlier today, where he was greeted by Trump and First Lady Melania. This was followed by a one-on-one meeting between the two leaders. The PM is on a three-day trip to US as part of his three-nation tour. This is PM Modi's fifth visit to the US, where he forged a close relationship with former US President Barack Obama and called the US "an indispensable partner". However, this is his first visit to US after the Trump administration came to power early this year.

Here are the highlights of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the United States:

असल में परमाणु रिएक्टरों में हादसे की सूरत में जो हर्जाना होगा, वह रिएक्टर चलाने वाले को यानि ऑपरेटर को देना होगा। कानून में यह प्रावधान है कि अगर ऑपरेटर चाहे तो वह सामान और ईंधन आपूर्ति करने वाले पर हर्जाने के लिए दावा कर सकता है। लेकिन यहां पर समझने वाली बात यह है कि ऑपरेटर कौन होगा।
