    "We’re moving in the right direction," he said. "We all know that the US-India economic relationship is also defined by so much untapped potential. "
    Mr. Obama’s visit to India was shortened so he could pay a visit to Saudi Arabia and pay his respects following the death of King Abdullah. He and his wife, Michelle, didn’t visit the Taj Mahal.
