Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the United States may be the most important since the countries signed a nuclear deal 15 years ago.
When then-Prime Minister Manmohan Singh visited Washington after the nuclear agreement in September 2008, he was extravagant in his praise for then-US President George W. Bush.
At a state dinner, he told Bush: "The people of India deeply love you. And all that you have done to bring our countries closer together is something that history will remember forever.”
