The incident came the day before a the Munich Security Conference — an annual meeting of global politicians and defense officials — was set to get underway.

The stage is set for a historic meeting between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The leaders hope to enhance trade and bolster defense ties.
