During his most recent trips, Gabbard was the Prime Minister’s first significant guest. Shortly after his arrival and hours after taking the oath of office following her confirmation earlier in the day, she paid him a visit on Wednesday evening at Blair House, a US government building where Modi resided.
An veteran Indian hand, Gabbard is the United States’ new top spy. As a Democrat serving in the US House of Representatives, she was also co-chair of the India Caucus and had a personal contact with the Prime Minister, who sent presents to her 2015 Hawaii wedding through an emissary.

Waltz was the prime minister’s second guest, calling on him Thursday morning. Elon Musk, the millionaire owner of SpaceX and Tesla, arrived shortly after, accompanied by his family, including X, the five-year-old who can be seen perched on his father’s shoulder in settings as diverse as the Oval Office and the halls of the US Capitol, which houses the US Congress.
