Last week, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi successfully concluded his two-day visit to the United States, where he met with U.S. President Donald Trump, along with key figures from the U.S. administration, including Elon Musk and Tulsi Gabbard. In light of this, the Congress party and several social media users have now started claiming that Prime Minister Modi visited the United States uninvited to meet Donald Trump.
Congress leader Pawan Khera in his press conference said PM Modi went to the United States uninvited.

Pavan KN shared, ‘Narendra Modi wasn’t invited by Trump—he begged for the appointment and went to the US. All this to impress his Bhakts, but what did we get in return? Handcuffs, chains, and reciprocal tariffs.’

Shruti stated, ‘Narendra Modi had gone to meet Donald Trump by appointment. The head of state of another country. Didn’t go on tour. Is this also a personal matter for Modi? If so, then who bore the expenses of petrol, accommodation, luxuries and change of clothes? The poor people of India?? People are still waiting for salvation after plunging into the dirty waters of Prayagraj. Why is it a world leader? Look at the overseas Indians imprisoned in Panama. Ego will go away.’
नरेंद्र मोदी appointment घेऊन डोनाल्ड ट्रम्प यांना भेटायला गेले होते.

देशाचे प्रमुख म्हणून दुसर्या देशाच्या
दौऱ्यावर गेले नाहीत.
ही देखील मोदींची वैयक्तिक बाब आहे का?
जर हो, तर मग पेट्रोल, मुक्काम, ऐषाराम आणि पोशाख बदलण्याचा खर्च कोणी उचलला?

Fact Check
We began our fact-checking process by searching for relevant information on the topic. Our first source was the White House website, where we found a press note dated January 27, 2025, stating, “The leaders discussed plans for Prime Minister Modi to visit the White House, underscoring the strength of the friendship and strategic ties between our nations.”
Further, an article published by The Hill on February 5, 2025, reported, “President Trump has invited Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the White House next week for a working visit, a White House official confirmed to The Hill. Modi will travel to Washington, D.C., for a two-day visit. The invitation follows a recent phone call between the two leaders.”
The article also quoted Trump, who told reporters aboard Air Force One in January, “He is going to be coming to the White House next month, probably in February. We have a very good relationship with India.”
Additionally, Reuters reported on February 3, 2025, “U.S. President Donald Trump has invited Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit the White House next week, a White House official said.”
Apart from The Hill and Reuters, both The Indian Express and DD News also confirmed that President Trump invited PM Modi to the United States for a bilateral meeting.
Following Modi’s visit, Elon Musk-led DOGE and Trump publicly revealed that $21 million in USAID funds, originally designated for “voter turnout in India,” had been allocated to the country. Trump went further, claiming that the funds were approved by the previous U.S. administration with the intention of toppling Modi’s government. This revelation has turned USAID into a heated topic, with opposition parties and left-liberals facing intense criticism from nationalists, the media, and the government.
