Trump's son-in-law Michael Boulos arrives in Kochi for private visit
Michael Boulos is married to Tiffany Trump, the daughter of Donald Trump, who is the President of the United States.
He traveled to a city in India called Kochi.
This is a private visit, which means it is not an official work trip.
He came with his friend Sergio Gor, the American ambassador to India.
Police think Michael may visit famous tourist places nearby, like the Nehru Trophy Boat Race.
Some news reports said he met the Chief Minister of Kerala, V D Satheesan.
The Chief Minister's office said those reports are not true.
They said the Chief Minister only met the American ambassador.
The American Embassy said Michael has known the ambassador for almost ten years.
This is Michael's second trip to India this year.
Michael Boulos, US President Donald Trump's son-in-law and husband of Tiffany Trump, arrived in Kochi on Saturday for a private visit.
He was accompanied by US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor, according to official sources.
Police sources said Boulos may visit tourist destinations in Kochi and neighbouring Alappuzha, including the Nehru Trophy Boat Race.
The Chief Minister's Office denied media reports that Kerala CM V D Satheesan held discussions with Boulos, saying his meeting was with the US ambassador only.
A US Embassy spokesperson said Boulos is visiting India for the second time this year in his personal capacity to see his friend, Ambassador Gor.
