- Democratic and Republican leaders in the Senate and House of Representatives announced the invitation in a letter to Modi on Friday, saying that the speech on June 22 would celebrate the “enduring friendship” between the two countries.
- “During your address, you will have the opportunity to share your vision for India’s future and speak to the global challenges our countries both face.”
