US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will sit down for their third bilateral meeting expected to commence at around 9:45 PM IST on Tuesday in New York.

Both leaders met first on the sidelines of G20 Summit in Osaka, Japan, followed by the meet on the sidelines of G7 summit in France and now on the sidelines of United Nations general assembly in New York. The meet comes within 48 hours of both sharing the stage in Houston during the largest Indian American diaspora meet on Sunday.

During the mega event on Sunday, both leaders endorsed each other. Using Trump's slogan "make America great again", PM said, Trump has achieved much for the United States and India has connected well with President Trump and endorsed him by saying "abki baar trump Sakar".

Trump meanwhile, called PM Modi as "one of Americas most devoted and most loyal friend" who is "doing a truly exceptional job for India and all of the Indian people".

The event made headlines in all major American newspapers from New York times to wall street journal to Washington Post.

Pictures of both leaders were on the front pages of American dailies, on the first day of high decibel diplomatic week that started at the United Nations.

Modi-Trump meet comes a day after Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan met US President Donald Trump in New York and in a big snub said both India and Pakistan have to agree for any mediation by Washington.

US President Donald Trump said, "I have a very good relationship with Prime minister Modi, I have very good relations with Prime Minister Khan. And if at any point they say they can iron out, I will be the extremely good arbitrator. I have never failed as an arbitrator...but you want accent from the other side".

India has made it clear that when it comes to India and Pakistan ties, no third party mediation which has been stated under the Shimla and Lahore agreements.
