Obama is scheduled to arrive in New Delhi on Sunday where he
will meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and attend the
Republic Day parade.
He will cut short his trip, missing a planned tour of the Taj
Mahal, to travel to Saudi Arabia, the White House said.
The White House had originally planned that U.S. Vice President
Joe Biden would lead a delegation to Saudi Arabia, but now that
Obama will travel to Riyadh, Biden will remain in Washington.
