US President Donald Trump on Friday shared a video on social media recapping key moments of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the White House and said India and the United States share a “truly special bond".
“I am thrilled to welcome the Prime Minister of India, my friend Narendra Modi, back to the White House. There is truly a special bond between the United States and India—the world’s oldest democracy and the world’s largest democracy," the US President posted on social media site X.
Trump described Modi as a friend for a long time and said in reply to a question, “He is a much tougher negotiator than me, and he is a much better negotiator than me. There is not even a contest." The warm chemistry between the two leaders was tangible as Trump said Modi is doing a great job in India.
He added, “Everybody talks about him. He’s doing a really fantastic job. He’s a great leader." During their meeting at the Oval Office, Trump warmly welcomed Modi with a long handshake, and a bear hug and said “We missed you a lot." He also called Modi “a great friend" and “a terrific man".
President Trump wrote in the book ‘Our Journey Together’, which he presented to Modi, “Mr Prime Minister, You Are Great".
Trump said he was thrilled to welcome “my friend PM Modi".
“We spent a lot of time here, and a lot of time in India. And, he’s a very special man. Prime Minister, it’s a pleasure to extend to you the same hospitality that you showed Melania (Trump) and myself when we travelled to your beautiful country five years ago," the President said.
Modi is among the first few world leaders to visit the US after Trump assumed office on January 20 following his victory in the elections last November.
