Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said President Donald Trump is his friend and also a close friend of India, and said the fact that he took out time to share the stage with him for the ”Howdy, Modi!” event in Houston is a matter of great pride for Indian Americans.
Addressing newspersons ahead of a bilateral meeting with Trump here, Modi said he was very grateful to Trump for attending the Houston event. “He gave a lot of his time, and for the Indian Americans it is a matter of great pride.”
He said that though he has been in office for less than four months, after his re-election, he has had the occasion to meet Trump thrice and discuss matters on several issues.
