US support for Pakistan is one of the most sensitive issues Mr Obama faces during his visit, says the BBC's Mark Dummett in Delhi. Many Indians think the US cannot be trusted as long as it continues to supply weapons to Pakistan's army, this country's "enemy number one", our correspondent adds. In Mumbai, Mr Obama visited the scene of the 2008 attacks, saying India and the US were united against terrorism. Trade between India and the US was worth about $40bn in 2008 - still significantly less than US trade with other partners like China and Europe. Security is tight for Mr Obama's visit. Thousands of Indian and US security personnel are deployed3 and a US naval4 warship5 is on patrol in the waters off the coast of the city.
