Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath will visit Agra on Tuesday to review the arrangements that have been put in place ahead of US President Donald Trump's visit to the city.

Trump is slated to pay a two-day state visit to India from February 24 at the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
