Mr. Trump also hinted at this when he said, “We’ll be meeting with India and Pakistan,” in response to a question on Monday about the Houston event. “So, I’ll see Prime Minister Modi and I will — we’ll be meeting with India and Pakistan. And I think a lot of progress has been made there. A lot of progress,” he said.
