Trump is in the country to discuss trade agreements and seek an economic balance in the region that acts as a counterweight to China's economic power.

In New Delhi there were also protests on Monday against a new citizenship law that provides accelerated naturalization for some religious minorities born abroad, but not for Muslims.

A police officer died in the violence, a police spokesman said.

Protests against citizenship law have erupted throughout India since it was approved by Parliament in December.
