According to PTI, PM Modi had extended a request to President Trump for the joint address at Houston when the two met in France last month on the sidelines of the G7 summit.
According to White House officials, Trump "immediately accepted" the invitation to join PM Modi in Houston and directed his officials and secret service to make arrangements.
